Start by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for 10 minutes. This helps soften them for blending and creates a smooth, creamy base for the dressing. Once softened, drain and rinse the cashews.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and nutritional yeast.
Add the fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, chives, garlic, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend on high until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick to blend or you prefer a thinner consistency, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For more tang, add an additional splash of lemon juice. For saltiness, add a pinch more salt.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. It can be used immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Enjoy your sugar-free vegan goddess dressing drizzled over salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
