Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened plain plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.25 cups Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, garlic clove, parsley, chives, basil, nutritional yeast, ground black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavor as desired by adding more lemon juice for tanginess, nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, or water to thin it out to your preferred consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dressing for salads, grain bowls, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
