How do I ensure my cashew aioli is perfectly smooth?

For the creamiest texture, especially if you don't have a high-efficiency blender, soak your raw cashews in hot water for at least 15-30 minutes before blending.

Can I adjust the garlic flavor in this aioli?

Yes, the recipe calls for one clove of minced garlic, but you can easily increase or decrease this amount to suit your preference.

What can I use this oil-free cashew garlic aioli with?

This versatile aioli is excellent as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or a creamy dressing for salads and roasted vegetables.

How long does this cashew aioli last in the refrigerator?

Store the aioli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

Is there a substitute for Dijon mustard in this recipe?

While Dijon adds a specific tang, you could try a small amount of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar for a similar acidic note, though the flavor profile will shift slightly.
