Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- [1, 2] tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- [2, 4] tablespoons Cold water (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the non-dairy milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, sea salt, and sriracha sauce to the blender with the cashews.
Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well blended.
If the dressing is too thick, thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more sriracha for extra spice or a pinch of salt for flavor balance.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce for your favorite dishes. Stir or shake before using if it has thickened in the fridge.
