Ingredients

• Avocado Crema
• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 3 cups water
• 1 small avocado
• 1 jalapeno, seeded for a mild flavor
• 1/8 cup lime juice
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Pico
• 1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
• 1/4 medium red onion, cut into large chunks
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 jalapeno, seeded
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Crema

2. Soak the raw cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes, or room temperature water for 6 hours.

3. Drain the cashews, but reserve their soaking water. Blend the cashews with 1/4 cup of the water until you have a smooth and thick cream. Add a tablespoon more water at a time if it is too thick after blending.

4. Puree 1 small avocado with 1/4 cup of the cashew cream, jalapeno, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt.

5. Pico

6. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse a few times until everything is roughly chopped. Easy as that!
