Preparation

Step 1


If you don't have a high-speed blender, soak the cashews in hot water for 20–30 minutes, then drain.



Step 2


Add the parsley, basil, chives, lemon juice, cashews, water, garlic, coconut aminos, sea salt, and black pepper to a high-speed blender.



Step 3


Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.



Step 4


If the dressing is too thick, blend in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.



Step 5


If using any optional ingredients, blend them in now.



Step 6


Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice for brightness, sea salt to taste, or extra herbs for a more vibrant flavor.



Step 7


Drizzle over green salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, wraps, sandwiches, pasta salads, or use as a dip for fresh vegetables.
