I made this easy cashew lime crema to go on top of lentil walnut tacos and vegan taco bowls. It’s quick to make and only takes three simple ingredients (including water). It’s so delicious, and I love the lime flavor. When I mixed it in my taco bowls it reminds me of sour cream, because of the tang from the lime juice. By itself, it’s quite delicious too! Use it like sour cream and cool down any spicy dish.

If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec then you shouldn’t need to soak your cashews. Depending on your blender the cashews may need to be soaked overnight or you can add cashews to a bowl, cover them with boiling water, and soak them for an hour. The longer you soak your cashews the less your blender has to work, overnight should be the most you’d need. The smooth consistency will depend on the blender and how long the cashews soaked.
