Start by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 5
Adjust the seasoning to taste. You may add more salt or lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh chives and fold them into the blended mixture using a spatula.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra chives on top for decoration.
Step 8
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
