G견hile (Creamy Green Salsa, No Avocado)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice
• 1 cup Cilantro leaves, packed
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1 Jalapeño pepper, seeds removed for less heat
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Water (more as needed)

Instructions

1. Start by soaking the cashews in water for at least 2 hours. This softens them and helps achieve a creamy consistency.
2. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then place them in a blender or food processor.
3. Add the fresh lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, jalapeño, salt, and 1/4 cup of water to the blender. Blend until smooth.
4. If the mixture is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more lime juice or salt to enhance the flavors.
6. Transfer the G견hile to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
