I have been making a lot of hummus and nut butters lately, they are such a great staple and complement to a lot of dishes. This Cashew and Sun-Dried Tomato Spread is definitely on of those recipes that is quick, easy, healthy and really delicious! It’s vegan and gluten free and packed with flavor.
I eat it as a snack with crackers or on a sandwich but also tasted great as a side to grilled veggies.
