Creamy Cashew Dill Dressing/ Dip

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashews - soaked in water for at least 2 hours and then drain
• 1/2 cup hemp hearts
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small clove of garlic
• 1 tbsp of dried dill or a handful of fresh dill - you could also substitute for basil, thyme or any fresh herbs you may have on hand!
• 1-2 tbsp of cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Soak the cashews in filtered water for at least 2 hours or even overnight.
• Drain the water from the soaked cashews
• Simply add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Store in the fridge. The next day you may need to add a bit more water and shake, as it will thicken a bit in the fridge.
• To make a thick and creamy dip or spread simply add half the water.
• Enjoy!
