Prep time: 10 minutes.
Author: Dawn Rofrano
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 cup soaked cashews
- 3 lemons juiced {about ⅔ c.}
- 1½ tsp. pink Himalayan sea salt
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- few extra dashes
- optional: 3 steamed garlic cloves
Instructions
- Soak washed cashews in a glass jar filled with filtered water to cover the nuts.
- Soak up to at least an hour but overnight is best, either on the counter or in the fridge.
- Rinse nuts well before you add them to the dressing.
- Juice your lemons; you should have about ⅔ cup or so.
- Add soaked nuts, lemon juice, oil and spices to a strong blender until all is creamy.
- Serve over fish or dip cut vegetables into the dressing.
Notes
If you are adding the garlic, steam it gently in a saucepan. It is better to add cooked garlic, as adding it raw is overpowering. If you find your dressing too thick add a tad more water or if it is too thin add a few extra nuts.
You can’t go wrong here. This dressing will stay fresh for up to a week in the refrigerator if you don’t eat it all first!
