Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and rinse.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, garlic clove, and nutritional yeast.
Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
Add the fresh parsley, dill, chives, maple syrup, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender or food processor.
Pulse a few times to incorporate the herbs without completely pureeing them. The dressing should be creamy with small flecks of fresh herbs throughout.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before use.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
