Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.75 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 teaspoon Capers brine (from the jar)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender or food processor.
Add water, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, capers, capers brine, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to the blender.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for savory flavor, or water to thin it out).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
