Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a heatproof bowl. Cover them with boiling water and let them soak for 10 minutes to soften. Alternatively, soak them in room temperature water for 4-6 hours if you have more time.

Step 2

Drain the cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the blender or food processor.

Step 4

Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the dried dill, parsley, chives, black pepper, and plant-based milk. Adjust the consistency by adding more plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired thickness.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a dip or drizzle over salads as a dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
