I'm confused as to how to make this. "Blanch cauliflower and carrots in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Cool."  Then what?

"Place soaked,drained cashews, blanched vegetables and remaining ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth and creamy."  Then what?

Wow!  Absolutely delicious!  Quick & easy too!  I didn't have time to soak the cashews so I used cashew butter instead.  Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly.  Thank you Victoria Boroda for this recipe!  A favorite for sure!

I've made many no-cheese sauces, and this is hands down, the best.  Followed recipe exactly and turned out just like pic, thick, creamy, and delicious!

Another new favorite!  It is a bit time consuming, but considering the more nutrients you get, well worth it.
