Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 0.5 cup of water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
Adjust the seasoning to taste. You may add more salt or lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Finely chop the fresh chives and fold them into the blended mixture using a spatula.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra chives on top for decoration.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh-cut veggies.
