Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
Place one cup of raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Allow them to soak for 15 minutes. For a smoother dressing, soak overnight in cold water.
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, one cup cold water, two tablespoons fresh lemon juice, one tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and half a cup of unsweetened coconut milk.
Add the seasonings: one teaspoon garlic powder, one teaspoon onion powder, one teaspoon dried dill, two tablespoons fresh chopped dill, one teaspoon dijon mustard, one teaspoon salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or dill to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing into a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Shake or stir well before using and enjoy it as a salad dressing, vegetable dip, or sandwich spread.
