Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked for at least 2 hours
- 1 lemon large
- 3 cloves garlic medium-sized
- ¼ cup tahini
- ½ cup parsley tightly packed, with the stems
- ¼ cup dill packed
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup water plus more as needed
Instructions
- Advance Prep: Soak the raw cashews in water for at least two hours, and then drain and discard the water. If you forgot this step, you can boil them in water for 15 minutes instead.
- In a high-powered blender, add the soaked cashews, juice of the lemon, garlic cloves, tahini, parsley, dill, olive oil, salt, and ⅓ cup of water, and blend on high until smooth and creamy. If needed, add additional water a tablespoon at a time to achieve the desired dressing consistency.
Notes
Dressing Consistency: This recipe makes quite a thick dressing. To thin the dressing, simply add more water. This can be done while blending, or afterwards. This dressing will also thicken in the refrigerator, but you can thin it with water when you're ready to use it!
Storage: Store this green goddess dressing in a sealed container with a lid, such as a glass mason jar. It should stay fresh for around 3-4 days.
