Savory White Sauce

This creamy white sauce is flavorful and delicious! It's high in calcium, protein, and B vitamins. The cashews make this thicken to a creamy smoothness. It can be served hot or cold. Use as a topping for baked potatoes, a creamy sauce for pasta, a dressing for potato salad, as a sauce for a 'white' pizza, or a raw vegetable dip.
