Some call it ‘vegan cheese’.
I like it better for what it is. A dip, a spread, a delicious add on to most dishes.
I used curled parsley and it imparts a fresh green to the preparation.
I am not going to make it sound like a compromise for those who miss ‘cheese’, because that would mean depriving a yummy dish of its true character. Yes, it is so much better than cheese!
I did this recipe as a feature for Dawn.
Relish. Make your own versions. Enjoy because it is sinless and delicious. It has everything your body needs. If you suffer from the notion that cashews are high cholesterol, you need to read this. Cholesterol build up is possible only through direct/indirect intake of animal products. No plant product unless pumped with dubious animal derivatives can give you cholesterol.
“With no cholesterol, a rarity for such a tasty and pleasing treat, cashew nuts are a healthy fat food for heart patients. And because of their high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, they also help support healthy levels of low good (HDL) cholesterol.”
you are right – you should not compare spreads like this with anything as they have a great character of their own. Going to check out the recipe. Love the first picture!
I loooove your shots! How long does this keep?
Thank you very much, Emma.
I make a cupful and that lasts me a week to ten days easily under refrigeration. I avoid making more than that.
Nice pics again harini,will try it out as i love diff. types of flavor in sandwich’s.

Hi Ashwini, I know! Glad to see your comment.:) I hope you are having more relaxed time now. Thank you for checking despite the tight schedule. Much appreciated.
good one harini ! loved this yummy looking dip !
Hey, this sounds so different and appealing! Cashew and parsley… Do you think coriander or mint could also be used? This is a great idea for party dips and sandwich spreads!
Hi Swati, am glad the idea appeals you. You could use coriander as well as mint. But mint is a strong herb. I guess a fraction of the quantity of parsley used will do. Please let me know how it goes.
Yum, love the dip ingredients and recipe
Loving this dip recipe, so unique and different. I have to try this
Thank you for sharing this – this dip looks simple and delicious.
