Tamarind Cilantro Cashew Sauce

IMG-1478.JPG

This dressing was inspired after indulging in some Avocado Egg Rolls from the Cheesecake Factory with their signature Cilantro Sauce. However, like with any recipe, I added my own twist to make an absolutley delicious and addicting dressing that I know you will be making on repeat during the warmer Spring months!  


Drizzle your homemade Tamarind Cilantro Cashew Sauce on various salads and the flavour combinations are incredible!
