    Just made this. Delicious flavour and simple to make. Although I had trouble blending the sundried tomatos into a creamy consistency, even after soaking for 15 min. I will make this again. Next time I will soak them a little longer, or chop them before blending!

    Are the 1/2c sun dried tomatoes soaked in the 1cup of water? Or is the soaking water in addition to the 1 cup of water? Sorry if it says it somewhere I seemed to have missed it. Thanks!

    Another great recipe. The sauce made more than we needed, but we’ll use it for dipping breads or fresh veggies for lunch! Creative recipe, too. Thank you!

    Excellent recipe. I modified it to be nut-free (used pepitas) and oil-free. Lots of dressing left over, so I used it on my warm potato salad. I might spice the dressing up a bit more next time, it’s a personal preference. Certainly a keeper

    Will be making it on Sunday for my husbands birthday dinner. I just have one question. Do you soak the cashews overnight or just use them as is ?

      I usually just soak 15 mins in hot water. You can soak for a few hours to overnight for super creamy result
