Photo: Roasted Asparagus with Cashew-Curry Mayonnaise Recipe
Try doubling or tripling the recipe as hors d'oeuvres for a cocktail party. The asparagus can be roasted ahead of time and refrigerated. Serve at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons cashews (recommended: Planters) plus roughly chopped cashews, for garnish
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise (recommended: Best Foods)
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (recommended: McCormick's)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (recommended: ReaLemon)
- Pinch salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
On baking sheet, drizzle oil over trimmed asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss together to evenly distribute oil and seasoning. Roast in oven for 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus. While asparagus is roasting, prepare mayonnaise.
Process 2 tablespoons of cashews in a blender until finely ground. In a small bowl, stir to combine ground cashews, mayonnaise, curry powder, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.
To serve, divide asparagus among 4 plates and top with a dollop of mayonnaise mixture. Garnish with a few chopped cashews.

a much more tasty way is, 3/4 cup raw cashews, soak about 1/2 hour in water then drain and put in blender with 1/2 cup non dairy milk, like almond milk , warmed, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon curry blend well and enjoy the heavenly flavor.

This was delicious. My kids even ate it and liked it. My husband suggested trying it in deviled eggs. I used a little on my pork chops as well and it was outstanding! I am not a curry fan but this was wonderful! I even went out and bought more asparagus to make tomorrow and use the rest of the sauce. Yum! I also used almonds for mine because I did not have any other nuts available.
