Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes. This will soften them and make them easier to blend into a creamy dressing.
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them well.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes depending on your blender.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend again for another 30 seconds to combine all the herbs and seasoning into the creamy base.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir well before using. Enjoy your Vegan Dill Ranch Dressing as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables, or as a topping for sandwiches and wraps.
