Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour to soften.
Step 2
Drain the cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor along with 1/2 cup of fresh water.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground black pepper to the blender.
Step 4
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take a few minutes depending on your blender.
Step 5
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thinner dip, you can add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 6
Transfer the garlic dip to a serving bowl and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 7
Let the dip rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve with fresh vegetables, grilled meats, or nutritious crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
