This sweet concoction can be used as a dressing, dip and spread. The sweet onion mixed with cashews gives it a filling yet non oily texture. Cashews have a wonderful delicate creamy flavour, they have a lower fat content than most other nuts. About 3/4 of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, which is a healthy fat, helping to lower bad cholesterol and promote heart health and cardiovascular health. It also has a milder taste than other nuts which makes it a great base for most things. This keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks an it's nice to have on hand.
