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!
