2. Process until cashews are a soft paste but still have some texture
Note: Depending on how long the cashews were soaked, you may need to add a tablespoon of water to get the right consistency
3. Chop the ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to peel them into long thin strips
4. Lay zucchini strips flat and add a small spoonful of cashew mixture onto one of the ends of zucchini
5. Add a few matchsticks of veggies, avocado, and a couple of pieces of cilantro
6. Roll up and enjoy!
Chef Tip:
Soaking the cashews in water for a few hours or overnight will help soften them and make it easier to process them. You can skip this skip this step if you are short on time.
