This dairy-free broccoli casserole is creamy and comforting.
It may not be the most elegant-looking side, but it more than makes up for that with flavor.
- Tender, bright broccoli florets.
- A savory, cashew-based “cheese” sauce.
- A buttery, crunchy cracker topping.
Together these elements form a cozy side dish that works equally well on a holiday table or for an everyday meal.
Best of all, there’s no condensed cream soup, mayo, or shredded dairy cheese required.
That means this version is dairy-free and a bit lighter than the traditional casserole, without sacrificing comfort or flavor.
