I said in one of my previous posts that I don’t like to eat asparagus raw… I have to take that back! My friend Victoria and her husband gave us fresh asparagus from their garden. It was tender, sweet and almost creamy – so unlike the woodsy, fibrous ones I buy.


Serve with this Easy Cashew Mayo or Dip

Puree all together:

1 lemon, juiced
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T water
1/2 cup raw cashew butter
1 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
choice of herbs and spices, according to taste


An easy and healthy appetizer in 5 minutes! Gotta love that!

Enjoy!
