NOT-MAYO RAW SPREAD

Since going 100% Raw recently I have been looking for some new dips, spreads and sauces to jazz up my veggies, The one thing I was lacking was a good mayo-like dressing. Here is my latest recipe:
This is an excellent substitute for that cholesterol-laden, fattening, egg-based, vinegar and sugar filled store bought brands. For a healthier version use almonds instead of cashews, but blanch and take skins off to make it creamier.

1 cup cashews, soaked 8 hours in 1/2 cup filtered water

1 lemon, peeled, seeded and chopped

3 Tablespoons chopped onion

3 Tablespoons chopped red pepper

1 clove garlic

1 Tablespoon flaxseed oil

1 Tablespoon fresh oregano

2 teaspoons dulse flakes

2 teaspoons liquid aminos

1/2 teaspoon paprika

pinch ground cumin

pinch of curry


After soaking nuts, combine cashews with water and blend until smooth. Add lemon, onion, red pepper, garlic, oil, oregano dulse, liquid aminos, paprika, cumin and curry. Blend. Use water if necessary to achieve desires consistency. Yields 1.5 cups dressing. It is YUMMMY and I have been using it to dip raw veggies in, on my avocado and sprout sandwiches and on everything. Many more recipes to follow. Bye beauties
