Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- water (as needed)
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes to soften them up. Drain well before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 0.5 cup of water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, maple syrup, salt, ground black pepper, and nutritional yeast.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add additional water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency.
Once the dressing is smooth, add in the chopped fresh dill and give it a few quick pulses to incorporate without completely blending the dill.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or dill according to your preference.
Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
