Cashew sauce is a creamy, plant-based condiment made primarily from blended cashews, water, and various seasonings like garlic, lemon juice, or nutritional yeast. Known for its versatility, it originates from global vegan and vegetarian cuisines, often used as a dairy-free alternative to cream-based sauces. Popular in dishes like pasta, salads, or drizzled over roasted vegetables, cashew sauce provides a rich texture and nutty flavor. Cashews are a nutrient-dense ingredient, offering a good source of healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins like magnesium and vitamin K. However, the sauce can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key. It avoids common allergens like dairy and is naturally gluten-free, appealing to those with dietary restrictions. Depending on added ingredients, cashew sauce can be adjusted for sweetness or spiciness, making it a customizable and health-conscious option for a variety of dishes.
