Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Allow them to soak for at least 1 hour. For a quicker soak, use boiling water and soak for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Once the cashews are softened, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, 0.5 cup of fresh water, chopped dill, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until it's completely smooth and creamy. This might take about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Step 5
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed: more salt for flavor balance or additional lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Step 6
Transfer the dressing into a jar or bottle with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Stir well before serving and keep refrigerated. The dressing will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
