Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Filtered water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (cold-pressed, extra virgin)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Drain and rinse before proceeding.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the soaked cashews, filtered water, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.

Step 4

Add the fresh parsley and dill to the blender. Pulse a few times until the herbs are finely chopped and incorporated into the dressing but not fully pureed, so you retain a bit of texture.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a bit more lemon juice for extra brightness, maple syrup for sweetness, or a pinch more salt as desired.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a sealed container or jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled over your favorite salads, roasted veggies, or use as a dip. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
