Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Place 1 cup of raw cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamier texture. Drain and rinse the cashews.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 0.5 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and blend briefly until well incorporated.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the blender.
Blend all ingredients until well combined, ensuring the herbs are finely chopped and evenly distributed in the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and adjust seasoning with additional salt and lemon juice if needed.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, Whole30-compliant crackers, or use as a creamy dressing for salads.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
