Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Filtered water
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes. This will soften them and make them easier to blend.
Drain the cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the water, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar to the blender.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add more filtered water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your taste.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake well before using, and enjoy this dairy-free chipotle dressing on salads, as a dip, or on your favorite dishes!
