This is my version of pesto sauce, made with cashews and nutritional yeast. Super creamy and versatile. You can use it as pasta sauce, as a veggie dip for an appetizer or in a sandwich for a quick snack. It’s my go-to sauce when I have no idea what to cook for dinner or when I want to impress people with my #saucing skills. It can be kept it in the fridge for about 8 days.
