    There's nothing like a creamy sauce to add a little extra something to any weeknight dinner. Kate's Lime Cashew Cream is quick and easy to make — we're talking 5 minutes or less! Perfect for a lazy taco Tuesday kinda night.

    Just gather up four simple ingredients — cashews, limes, water and salt — toss them in the blender and that's it! Your lime cashew crema is ready to be served.
