Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight. If you're short on time, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 0.75 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take a few minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
Step 5
Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a bowl and stir in the chopped chives.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch more salt or a splash more lemon juice if you prefer a tangier flavor.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the dip to thicken.
Step 8
Serve chilled with your choice of fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
