Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to soften them. Alternatively, soak them in cold water for 2-4 hours or overnight if time permits.
Step 2
Drain the cashews and rinse them under cold water to remove any residue.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, fresh water, lemon juice, fresh dill, peeled garlic clove, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired. You may add more salt, lemon juice, or dill to suit your taste.
Step 6
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve the vegan creamy dill sauce with your favorite salads, use as a sandwich spread, or as a dip for fresh vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
