Equipment

  • blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup raw cashews
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed, or 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons dry dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Judy's Sage and Rosemary Blend (see notes), optional but wonderful
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • If you don't have a high speed blender, begin by either presoaking or precooking the cashews (see FAQs) otherwise the dressing may turn out a bit gritty.
  • Put all of the ingredients into a blender, bullet blender, or food processor and let stand for about 15 minutes.
  • Blend until smooth, scraping the sides with a soft spatula as needed

Notes

Judy's Sage and Rosemary Blend
Thoroughly blend approximately equal amounts of dried sage and dried rosemary using a spice grinder or bullet blender (some have a milling blade).
