Chipotle Cashew Dressing – Healthy, Vegan, Oil-Free, Raw, Gluten-Free, Raw, Plant-Based Spicy Recipe with Mexican Smoky Flavor

 

 

Easy |  Servings: 12  |  Ready In: 5 minutes + soaking cashews |  Yield: 1 1/2 Cups

This spicy Raw Chipotle Dressing uses soaked cashews for a creamy, oil-free consistency. Use it as a healthy, plant-based, gluten-free sauce over Lentil Tacos, Easy Black Bean Cakes, or a make your own raw Southwest Salad.  You’ll devour the spicy Mexican flavor in this smoky vegan recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked over night
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 2 dates, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup water

How it’s Done:

To make the Oil-Free Raw Chipotle Cashew Dressing:  First, soak the cashews overnight (or even a few days), to soften.  Then, drain the soaked cashews.  Rinse under running water.

Place the soaked cashews in a blender and add all remaining ingredients.  Puree until smooth.  Use more or less water to adjust the consistency to your preference.

Servings: 12
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Soaked cashews, lime, dates, and chipotle come together quickly in this easy, raw, oil-free vegan dressing

Chef Katie’s Tips:

Skip the Soaking: If you forget or don’t have time to soak the cashews, you can substitute the cashews with Cashew Butter (like peanut butter, but made with cashews).  1/4 raw cashews (soaked) = 1/2 cup cashew butter.

Not into smoky flavor?  If you’re not into the smoky chili flavors, swap out the chipotle powder for just 2 teaspoons of sweet paprika.

Microplane to Zest:  The zest of the lime has most of the flavor.  Use a Microplane zester to remove this without taking off any of the white pith
