Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh chives
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup (optional) filtered water (for consistency adjustment)
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a small bowl and cover with very hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the cashews and transfer them to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Add 0.5 cup water, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, parsley, chives, basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the dressing is too thick, add up to 0.25 cup filtered water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve drizzled over salads, as a vegetable dip, or as a flavorful sauce for roasted vegetables.
