Additional comments:
-----------------------------------------------------
Variation: In place of 3/4 cup cashews, use 6 Tbsp. cashews and 6 Tbsp. tahini. Omit sesame seeds. This gives it a mild cheesy flavor.

Note: When using cashews, pour the sauce into a saucepan and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly until thickened.

Makes 2 1/4 cups.
