Simple Asparagus Hollandaise Sauce (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free)

I’ve tried to create a creamy hollandaise sauce to go with it, using blended cashew nuts and the cooking water of the asparagus as the main ingredients. I was amazed by the result! We have been making this vegan and gluten-free sauce so many times now. With or without asparagus – it’s so delicious and super easy and quick to make. Great, when you don’t have much time.
