Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Allow them to soak for at least 1 hour. For a quicker soak, use boiling water and soak for 30 minutes.
Once the cashews are softened, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, 0.5 cup of fresh water, chopped dill, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it's completely smooth and creamy. This might take about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed: more salt for flavor balance or additional lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Transfer the dressing into a jar or bottle with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir well before serving and keep refrigerated. The dressing will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
