Cilantro Wasabi Aioli

I like to think of aioli as a flavored mayonnaise. This aioli is a special combination of wasabi, cilantro, cashews, and tofu. A green delight!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Yields: 3/4 cup

Ingredients:

1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked in water to cover for 2-3 hours, then drained

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup silken tofu

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon wasabi paste (or powder)

1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon pureed ginger

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

1. Soaking the cashews in water for a few hours will reduce blending time. If you are not using a Vitamix, I highly recommend soaking the cashews so they blend into a smooth and creamy texture.

2. Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix or other high powered blender and process on high speed until smooth and creamy.

3. Remove from blender and chill to thicken. Serve chilled.
