📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes, then drain and rinse well.

2. In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews with almond milk, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy.

3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, fresh parsley, fresh chives, fresh basil, fresh tarragon, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender.

4. Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is well combined and the herbs are finely chopped, creating a smooth and creamy dressing. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated.

5. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

6. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Serve chilled as a dressing for salads, a sauce for sandwiches, or a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
