Ingredients

Cashew Soak

  • ⅓ cup raw cashews
  • Water for soaking

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons barbecue sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons water (plus more for adjusting consistency)

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews: Add the raw cashews to a bowl and cover them completely with water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to soften, which helps in achieving a creamy texture. After soaking, drain the water thoroughly.
  2. Blend ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust consistency and store: If the sauce is thicker than desired, add more water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred dipping consistency. Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Soaking cashews is essential for a creamy texture; don't skip this step.
  • Use homemade barbecue sauce for a healthier, preservative-free option.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and barbecue sauce to taste for sweetness and smokiness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness up to 4 days.
