Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 2-4 hours
- 1/2 cup water (you can adjust for desired consistency)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed (or fresh dill, if you have it)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by draining and rinsing the soaked cashews. This helps remove any bitterness and ensures a smoother dressing.
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill weed, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to pause a few times to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more water and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the dressing to a container with a lid and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve this delightful dressing over your favorite salad or as a dip for fresh vegetables. It’s also fantastic on grain bowls or wraps!
