Myth: Eating healthy is boring
Fact: Eating healthy allows for creativity...dream big, girl!
It is NO secret that I LOATH mayonnaise! If you're new here! Welcome to The Girls Club; mayo can't sit here!
...And it's not because I think it's "unhealthy", I believe you should enjoy everything you like with mindfulness. I just hate it, it's opal gloss and jiggle simply grosses me out!...end mayonnaise rant!
But I wanted to add a little spice and moisture to some spring rolls, so I messed around with some thaaangs. The end result was sooo delicious and super easy to make, that I wanted to share it with you all!
Check out this recipe, it happens to be raw vegan. (I am not a vegan however)
Mayo LESS (vegan) Spicy Aioli
- 3/4 C raw cashews
- 3 chipotle chilies
- 1tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- juice of a freshly squeezed lemon
- 1 tbsp of agave
- 1 handful of fresh cilantro
- 1/2 of an avocado
- Splash of water (divided, varied on desired texture)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1) In a food processor, pulse the cashews until a paste starts to form.
2) Add all other ingredients, blend in food processor until smooth.
3) Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional)
If you're a spicy chica, and prefer additional heat, you can add in another chipotle chili. But I recommend starting with just 3!
You can use this recipe for anything! I added this on the side of baked Tex-Mex spring rolls. It was just the right amount of heat and texture!
You could also use this as a spread on a sandwich, a dip for crackers + veggies. It's really a great addition to any appetizer
Try this one for your holiday parties, you will be sure to add a ZING to the appetizer scene at any party!
Let me know what you think, and don't forget to tag me on socials!
Go on girl,
