Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional water for thinning
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and rinse.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, garlic clove, and nutritional yeast.
Step 3
Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
Step 4
Add the fresh parsley, dill, chives, maple syrup, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender or food processor.
Step 5
Pulse a few times to incorporate the herbs without completely pureeing them. The dressing should be creamy with small flecks of fresh herbs throughout.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before use.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
