Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes. This will help soften them and make them easier to blend.
Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add 1 cup of water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt to the blender with the cashews.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
Once the cashew mixture is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Stir in the fresh dill, chives, parsley, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Dairy-Free Creamy Herb Cheese Dip chilled with an assortment of fresh vegetables, chips, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
