Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 0.5 cup water
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Alternatively, for a quicker option, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add 0.5 cup of water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, dried parsley, and sea salt to the blender with the cashews.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed and adjust the consistency with additional water if desired.

Step 5

Once the dip is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Fold in the finely diced yellow onion to add texture and enhance the onion flavor.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sea salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
