With thanksgiving and the holiday season coming up, it is the perfect time to share a healthy vegan mushroom gravy recipe. If you have a good gravy any food will taste good!

Vegan Mushroom Gravy Recipe
The Dijon mustard, balsamic, and spices give this gravy a good taste. You can substitute the dijon mustard with normal mustard, but make sure to only use 1/2 teaspoon. Also make sure to use low sodium soy sauce. If you can’t find raw cashews you can use roasted ones as well, even if they are salted. Just soak them as described and you are good to go.
