Start by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes. This will soften them, ensuring a smooth texture for the dip.
Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast to the blender with the cashews.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Once smooth, transfer the cashew cream to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the fresh dill, chopped dill pickle, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and non-dairy yogurt to the cashew cream.
Stir the ingredients together until fully combined. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor and set the texture.
Serve the Vegan Classic Dill Dip with your choice of raw vegetables, pita bread, or chips. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
