  • 1 cup organic raw cashews soaked for 2 hours (soaking is optional)
  • 1/4 cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raw cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice or more to taste
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp raw agave nectar or 1 chopped pitted date
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • Tiny 1/2 pinch of Celtic sea salt or more to taste
  1. Put the cashews and cauliflower in your high speed blender (I use a Vitamix) and add the water until combined well.
  2. Slowly add the oil in one steady stream, and process until thick and creamy.
  3. Place the rest of the ingredients into the blender to taste, and process until smooth.
  4. Add in some more salt, mustard or lemon juice to taste until you create your perfect blend.

**Please note – you will need a high speed blender such as a Vitamix, in order to achieve a really creamy consistency.

Piggy Cooking Tips

the best way to clean your blender

After blending up something sticky, gooey or smelly, just place a few drops of soap in the carriage with some warm water and blend on high until all of the congealed food slips away from the blades and sides. Then repeat this process. Then rinse with water and presto! Clean carriage. 
If you have smells or stains repeat this process with some bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice and water.
