Ingredients
- 1 cup (raw and unsalted) Cashews
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh dill
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the cashews in a bowl of water for at least 2 hours, or until they have softened. This will ensure the dip is creamy and smooth. For a quicker option, soak in hot water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly after soaking. Place them in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add the water, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic into the blender with the cashews.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure all cashews are well blended.
Step 5
Once smooth, add the chopped parsley, dill, and chives into the blender.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Pulse the blender a few times to combine the herbs with the cashew cream. Do not over-process to maintain some texture from the fresh herbs.
Step 8
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed according to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Step 10
Serve chilled with your choice of vegetables, Paleo-friendly crackers, or as a spread for sandwiches.
