Raw Cream Sauce for zucchini pasta

(from beanarm’s recipe box)

This recipe is healthy and easy to make, perfect for raw and vegan pasta dishes and salads. Feel free to experiment with other nuts; I like the creamy, slightly sweet taste of cashews combined with the slight bitterness of raw walnuts, but I’ve had wonderful results with Brazil nuts and macadamia nuts as well.

Makes 1 1/3 cup
