    How to Make

    Making this cashew dill dressing is super quick and easy! You just need to blend everything in a blender until smooth.

    However, you may have to soak your cashews before blending if you do not have a high-powered blender. I have a Vitamix that blends raw, unsoaked cashews into a creamy dressing with no issue, but some blenders might not be able to do this.

    To soften your cashews, soak them for at least 4 hours at room temperature, or for a faster method you can soak them in boiled water. To do this, just boil some water on the stove or in an electric kettle, then pour it over the cashews in a bowl, making sure the water covers them completely. Then just place an upside down plate over the bowl to trap the heat and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup raw cashews
    • ¾ cups water
    • 2 teaspoons capers
    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed

    Instructions

    • If you do not have a high-powered blender, start by soaking your cashews. Soak at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or soak in boiled water for 20 minutes.
    • Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

    Notes

    This recipe makes approximately 1 cup of dressing.
    This dressing can be frozen in a container and thawed in the fridge, but it will be very thick once thawed. To thin it back out into a dressing, add a bit of water and re-blend in your blender.

      Can I use fresh dill from my garden instead of dried?

        I think fresh dill would be fine, but you may want to add a bit more than the amount of dried dill stated in the recipe.
