Dishing Up the Dirt

Sriracha Cashew Mayo

Up your sandwich game with this spicy “mayo.” I love how creamy cashews become when they’re blended until silky smooth. So whether you’re spreading this on a breakfast sandwich, turkey sandwich, burger or veggie burritos this spicy spread will take things up a few notches. It’s also wonderful mixed with egg yolks for a tasty deviled egg filling. The possibilities are endless….go wild!
