- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Alternatively, for a quicker option, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a blender or food processor.

Add 0.5 cup of water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, dried parsley, and sea salt to the blender with the cashews.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed and adjust the consistency with additional water if desired.
Step 5
Once the dip is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Fold in the finely diced yellow onion to add texture and enhance the onion flavor.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sea salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
