Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. If short on time, you can soak them in hot water for about 30 minutes.
After soaking, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly under cold water.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the drained cashews and 1 cup of water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the blender. Blend again until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, dill, and chives until evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add a little more lemon juice for tanginess or salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
Serve the Vegan Creamy Herb Dip with your choice of fresh vegetables, chips, or crackers.
