Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 medium garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes to soften.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 1/2 cup of water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, and dried dill.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lemon juice or sea salt according to your preference.
Transfer the creamy garlic dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to thicken the consistency.
This dip pairs well with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread in sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
