Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes to soften.
While the cashews are soaking, finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
After the cashews have soaked, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic clove, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Add the finely chopped dill to the blender and pulse a few times just to incorporate the dill without over-blending.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free creamy dill dressing on salads, as a dip for veggies, or drizzled over your favorite dishes.
