Creamy Cashew Dressing {Vegan & Paleo}

Creamy Cashew Dressing is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. This dressing brings the most simple dishes to life, it is vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

I love sauce, dips, spreads I pretty much need it on everything I eat. Cashew based dressing is my favorite, I also love Chipotle Cashew Cream!! I love to put Creamy Cashew Dressing on my salads, buddha bowls, and roasted veggies. You can dump this dressing on just about any savory bowl and it will be delicious! I seriously love all sauces but this one I make the most.

So today was a clean out the fridge day and roast all the veggies about to wilt over and die. We are usually pretty good at eating our veggies especially me, but my first trimester and veggies were not blending well. I had to stick to soups and smoothies to eat my veggies, thankfully were out of the trimester! Now in the second, I want nothing more than buddha bowls and big fresh salads, but still loving my carbs too, ha!

How to make Creamy Cashew Dressing 

This is a very easy recipe to make. Add all ingredients to your blender and blend till smooth and creamy! I use a Vitamix which also heats the dressing little so I chill mine in the fridge before eating. Keep the dressing stored in the fridge for up to 1 week in a sealed jar. 

Love amazing dressings, you must also try Chipotle Cashew Cream and Vegan Basil Cream Sauce!
