Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 0.25 cup fresh chives
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes, then drain and rinse well.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews with almond milk, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, fresh parsley, fresh chives, fresh basil, fresh tarragon, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is well combined and the herbs are finely chopped, creating a smooth and creamy dressing. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a dressing for salads, a sauce for sandwiches, or a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
