Equipment

high-powered blender

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ c cashews heaping
  • ¾ cup water more if needed to thin
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp white (distilled) vinegar
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp parsley flakes
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Blend all ingredients except parsley and pepper in a high-powered blender until smooth.
  • Add parsley and pepper and whiz briefly--just enough to stir them in.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight, as the dressing will thicken dramatically. (Although I'm not good at waiting, so I often use it straightaway!)

Notes

-No high-powered blender? Soak cashews overnight in water in the refrigerator. Then proceed with the recipe using a regular blender.
