Whipped Cashew-Sambal Sauce With Broccolini

Punched up with bold ingredients like soy sauce and sambal oelek, this creamy, luxurious sauce is equally at home as a dip or a dressing. Cashews, more than any other nut, blend up ultra-smooth and buttery after a brief soak thanks to their high-starch and low-fiber content. Eat it by the spoonful; toss it with cold soba noodles and crunchy vegetables; spoon a dollop under roasted brussels sprouts; or slather it in a lettuce wrap.
