Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 cup Raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hours, then drained)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (if needed to adjust consistency)
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours or overnight for the creamiest texture. Drain before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, unsweetened non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. This might take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Add dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse a few times just to mix in the herbs, maintaining some texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice for tanginess.
If the dressing is too thick, gradually add up to 2 tablespoons of water, blending until you achieve your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a salad dressing, dip, or drizzle, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
