Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups water (for soaking)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews with fresh water.
In a blender, combine the drained cashews, almond milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic powder to suit your preference.
Pour the dip into a serving bowl and stir in the chopped chives.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the creamy chip dip with your favorite dairy-free chips or vegetable sticks.
