Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Cashews (raw, unsalted)
- 0.75 cups Water (for soaking and blending)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Soak the cashews for at least 10 minutes to soften them.
Drain the soaked cashews and discard the soaking water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 3/4 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to help emulsify the dressing and make it extra creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or maple syrup according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before each use as separation may occur naturally.
