Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• [1, 2] tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• [2, 4] tablespoons Cold water (as needed for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes to soften.

Step 2

Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the non-dairy milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, sea salt, and sriracha sauce to the blender with the cashews.

Step 4

Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well blended.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick, thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more sriracha for extra spice or a pinch of salt for flavor balance.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce for your favorite dishes. Stir or shake before using if it has thickened in the fridge.
