Instructions
Make the Salad
Make the salad by placing the tomatoes, red onion, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, and mint into a mixing bowl and gently mixing until all of the ingredients are combined.
You can chill the salad or serve it at room temperature.
Place a portion of the salad on a plate and top with cashew cheese and walnuts. Garnish with mint to make it extra pretty.
Make the Cashew Cheese
Soak, drain and rinse the cashews.
Place the cashews in a food processor along with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
Pulse for about 1 minute to combine the ingredients.
Add the water and process until completely smooth, about 2 - 4 minutes.
The longer you soak your cashews the more water they absorb. If you soak your cashews for an hour you won't need to add additional water. If you’re in a hurry and only soak your cashews for 10 minutes, you may want to add a few extra tablespoons of water.
