  1. Cover the cashews with hot water and let soak for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Roast poblanos, garlic, onion and jalapeños in the oven or air fryer at 450 for 7-9 minutes or on the stove. I added 1-2 tbsp oil to the pan but you can do it without oil too. Roast until charred on all sides, rotating the ingredients as they cook. Should take 6-8 minutes. *You will need to remove the garlic after 1-2 minutes! Don’t let it burn!*
  3. Once the poblanos and jalapeños are done roasting, place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them sit and sweat for 5 minutes, then with your fingers, peel off the outer charred layer.
  4. Drain the cashews and place in the blender with poblanos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, a good pinch of salt, ground pepper, cilantro (with the stems), nutritional yeast, water and blend until smooth. Should be a thicker dressing. You can add a touch more of water if needed/desired.
  5. Pour into a container and place in the fridge to chill. Meanwhile, thinly chop your cabbage. Once the dressing has chilled for 20 minutes, add the cabbage to a bowl then pour over desired amount of dressing. Toss then squeeze over the juice of a lime, drizzle a couple tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and top off with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper!
  6. Enjoy right away or chill in fridge for an hour! Left overs can be kept fresh in fridge, sealed tight for up to 5 days.
