Vegan and Raw Lemon and Garlic Salad Dressing

Whoever thought you could make salad dressing from cashews?  Not me!  This was my first attempt and I am in love!

This is a great recipe, not only because it's delicious, but the soaking time for the cashews is only 1 hour.  Many recipes you have to soak the nuts for 4-8 hours.  By the time you prepare your main course and assemble your salad the nuts will be ready.  Place all the dressing ingredients in a food processor and in a few minutes you have your dressing.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup raw cashews, soaked in filtered water for 1 hour

1/4 cup organic extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup cashew water

Juice from 1 large organic lemon

1 T organic garlic, minced

1/2 t sea salt

1 T organic onion powder

Method:

Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
