60+ Vegan Cashew Recipes (Sweet, Savory, and Side-Dishes!)

Few people are aware of the extreme versatility that cashews have in the vegan kitchen. We’re talkin’ soups, sandwiches, sauces, dips, drinks.. You name it, and there’s a slew of vegan cashew recipes to match. Here are my top 60+ vegan cashew-based recipes!

Oh, sweet Vegan Gods:

Thank you for blessing us with the goodness that is Cashews.

I’m not quite sure what I would do without this ever-surprising, neutral-flavored nut.

Think I’m joking?

Just look at how many recipes I have using cashews.

I’d be forever missing my:

• Mac & Cheese
• Coffee Creamer
• Ranch/Mayo Dips
• So, so, sooo much more

So, if you’re a vegan that doesn’t stock up on cashews when they’re on sale, here’s your inspiration!
