Creamy Green Dressing
A delicious, healthy and Creamy Green Dressing that’s loaded with fresh herbs and cashews. This dressing recipe is vegan, paleo, sugar-free, oil-free, gluten-free and so easy to make. Perfect for all your salads, roasted veggies and buddha bowls.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashews - soaked for at least two hours, preferably overnight*
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup basil
- ⅓ cup parsley
- 2 Tbsp chopped chives – measured after chopping
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar – could try substituting with apple cider vinegar, though I haven’t tried it this way
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 garlic clove
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the cashews and place them in a high-speed blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You might need to stop a few times and scrape down the sides.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Enjoy on your favorite salad or buddha bowl!
Notes
*Soaking nuts overnight makes them a whole lot healthier (you can read more about it here). But if you are hungry and want to make this tasty dressing right now, soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 - 30 minutes. This will soften them quickly.
