Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften them and make them blend more smoothly.
Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, basil, parsley, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add a little more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your taste.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It should keep for about 5-7 days.
Serve the Vegan Green Goddess Dressing over salads, grain bowls, or use it as a dip for veggies.
