Vegan Ranch Dip

makes about 1 1/2 cups

 

• 3/4 cup raw cashews
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
• a few sprigs of fresh parsley 

 

Soak cashews in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and place cashews in a blender with 3/4 cup water with all of the ingredients except for the dill and parsley. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Add dill and fresh parsley and blend for just a few seconds to incorporate (blending too much will make the mixture green). Season to taste.  Store in a jar and keep refrigerated for up to a week.
