Fruit salad on a stick with a vegan vanilla dipping sauce….

The sauce is made with cashews, bananas and a hint of vanilla. No added sugar or cream was used, making this a clean and healthy sweet!

Instructions

Cut fruit into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble fruit onto wooden skewers and set aside.
To Make Vanilla Dipping Sauce:
Place raw cashews in a bowl and cover with water, let sit for at least an hour and drain.
Add cashews, bananas, almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla and sea salt in a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately with fruit skewers 🙂

Notes

The dipping sauce is best served soon after it is made. The lemon juice acts as a natural preservative to prevent the bananas from turning brown however, the dipping sauce will take on a darker color the longer it is exposed to the air. If made ahead of time, store in an air-tight container.

Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
