    Thank you, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! So easy, and it’s a nice way to use up some of the summer zucchini glut.

    • Hi Ren,
      thank you so much for trying out the recipe and sharing your feedback! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed it. Using up the surplus of summer zucchini is definitely a bonus.

  2. It’s become a mainstay crowd pleaser. Iv made it with zucchini or yellow squash and both are excellent. After trial and error I do omit the lemon juice.

    • Hey, Ruchama,
      that’s awesome! I’m glad everyone loves it. Thanks for sharing!

  3. I can’t wait to try this! I wanted to ask what did you pour in top? Is it balsamic vinegar or tamari or what?

    • I am so happy you like my recipe.
      I used a bit of soy sauce to make it more appetizing but it doesn’t really add to the flavor that much. Enjoy it!

  4. I cannot wait to try this recipe! We grow up to 100 zucchini every summer and this would be a wonderful way to use some of them. I freeze many of them and so will be trying this recipe using frozen and thawed zucchini.

    Btw, I was finally able to subscribe to your website.

    • Hi Joan,
      I love zucchini and you are so lucky to be able to grow so many yourself! This is one of my favorite ways to enjoy zucchini.
      I haven’t tried this spread with frozen but I think that they’ll be great as well.
      Thanks for subsribing and welcome onboard!

  6. I just made this and it is very tasty, but mine has more of a green tint then yours! Just wondering why? Also mine does not look as creamy .. Any tips??? Thanks for recipe it is really good.

    Reply
    • Hi, Kelli! I’m so happy you liked it. I used peeled light green zucchini, I guess if yours was dark green the color may be greener. Sometimes the cashews can be drier and doesn’t blend as well.You can try to add just a bit of water and blend it for longer.

  7. Made this the other day and could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting with a spoon! Sooooo good 🙂 Out of curiosity, how long does this last in the fridge and freezer? I want to use this for dipping veggies and what not like… every…. day…..

    Reply
    • Thanks for the lovely feedback!❤️ You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. I haven’t tried to freeze it, I guess the texture might change. Let me know if you try.
      Happy dipping!🥰

    • Hey there!
      You can substitute the cashew nuts with sunflower seeds or macadamia nuts. I guess the flavor will be slightly different but still delish. Btw cashews are not so high in oxalates themselves. Stay healthy!

  8. Just a thought. When any vegetable is boiled, the nutrients land up in the boiled water??

    Reply
    • Well, technically, some of the nutrients do leak into the water, however, I try to approach cooking with no-so-perfectionist way to make it practical for most people since steaming takes a bit more time. I think it’s most important to omit oils, refined carbs and animal products and eat whole plant foods.
      That said, I tried it with raw zucchini the other day and it was just as good!
      Also, I often keep the broth from the boiled veggies and I use it in my other dishes. It adds so much flavor and nothing goes to waste.
      Cheers!
