Instructions
Cook asparagus or beans in boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside to cool.
Heat a BBQ or grill pan. Season chicken on both sides and drizzle with a little oil. Cook chicken pieces for 1-2 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate to cool.

Place cashews in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge.
Drain well and combine with remaining ingredients in a blender or mini food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt.
