I’m a little sad because this sounded so delicious. I tried to make this last night and it ended up WAY too sour and very runny…not like a dressing at all. Any suggestions?

Glad you loved it, Nancy!

Ya now, I agree that cashews are NOT an ideal nut and are never to be found raw (I pretty much believe that most “raw” almonds aren’t raw either — try sprouting a few and see what happens). But the truth is, I’m not the sort of raw foods purist who really cares whether my thai coconuts are really organic or nuts are really raw. If they haven’t had the s**t roasted out of them, they’re OK — I don’t LOVE the fact that cashews are yeast prone, but then, I don’t eat them constantly, and they are so versatile that I do consider them an essential for me.

Can’t wait to meet you, I hope!
