Creamy Chilli Dressing (Oil & Dairy-Free)

I was born in the 1950's and live in New Zealand. In July 2017 I removed all animal products from my diet. Without any effort I dropped 14kg in weight and now have the vigour that I had in my 40's.

30g cashews (¼ cup), soaked in boiling water

40g cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (approx ¼ cup)

¼ cup water

4 cm fresh red chili

½ clove garlic

6 large mint leaves

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt

Drain the nuts, then blend all ingredients together in a mini blender.

Serve over salads or pasta.

I made a batch using 80g beans and no nuts but it was much thinner and the flavour wasn't as good. I added 30g nuts to that mixture and remixed. The result was a very thick mixture and the flavour was good, but probably not quite as good as the recipe above.

2/4/23 Didnt have jalapeno so used 1/16 tsp chilli powder. Didntn have lemon juice sonused ¾ TBSP lime juice. No mint so used ⅛ tsp smoked paprika and garam masala.
