Garlic Cashew Sauce Ingredients Explained:

• Cashew Butter: The star of this garlic cashew sauce is Ezra Cohen Montreal’s Cashew Butter. Bringing a creamy texture and a rich, nutty flavor to the base of the sauce, cashew butter is known for its smooth consistency and slightly sweet taste.
• Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds a punch of both flavor and aroma, and it infuses the sauce with its savory and slightly spicy notes.
• Lemon Juice: A squirt of zesty lemon juice adds a refreshing tanginess that balances the creaminess of the cashew butter and enhances the sauce’s overall flavor profile.
• Dijon Mustard: With its sharp, tangy taste, Dijon mustard adds a depth of flavor and a subtle kick that plays well with the other ingredients.
• Salt and Black Pepper: A dash of salt and pepper brings out the flavor of the other ingredients, allowing each to shine through.
• Water: Used to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce. Adjust to make the sauce thicker or thinner, depending on your preference.
• Olive Oil: Essential for extra creaminess, olive oil enriches the sauce’s texture and adds a hint of fruity flavor.
• Fresh Herbs: Garnishing with fresh parsley or chives adds a burst of color and a fresh, herbal note that complements this sauce beautifully.
