I decided to try and come up with plant-based tzatziki, and I’m pretty crazy about it. Cashews are my go-to ingredient for non-dairy sauces, as they make everything rich and creamy. If you have a high-speed blender, it’s not imperative that you soak the cashews, but soaking almost any type of nut is a good practice in order to unlock their full nutrient potential.
