Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes. This will help soften them and make them easier to blend.

Step 2

Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt to the blender with the cashews.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 5

Once the cashew mixture is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh dill, chives, parsley, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Step 8

Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve the Dairy-Free Creamy Herb Cheese Dip chilled with an assortment of fresh vegetables, chips, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
