Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 whole Green onions
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Chilled water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for about 15 minutes to soften. This helps create a smoother dressing.

Step 2

After soaking, drain the cashews and add them to a blender along with 0.5 cup of fresh water.

Step 3

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the blender with the cashews.

Step 4

Add fresh parsley, cilantro, and basil leaves to the blender.

Step 5

Trim the ends of the green onions, chop them into large pieces, and add them to the blender.

Step 6

Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove, then add it to the blender.

Step 7

Pour in the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.

Step 8

Add salt and black pepper to the blender.

Step 9

Blend the mixture on high speed until very smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Once blended, check the consistency. If the dressing is too thick, add the chilled water a little at a time and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 11

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if desired.

Step 12

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 13

Serve over salads, as a dip for fresh vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled dishes.
