Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for at least 1 hour to soften. Drain and rinse well.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, coconut milk, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and sea salt.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender or processor as needed to ensure an even texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a bit more salt or lemon juice for extra flavor if desired.
Transfer the whipped mixture to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Optionally, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped fresh dill for visual appeal and added flavor.
Serve immediately as a dip, spread, or topping for roasted vegetables or Paleo-friendly crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
