- 1 cup cashews
- 2 tsps lemon zest
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh dill
Soak the cashews
You have two options with the cashews: soak them overnight by adding just enough water to cover the cashews.orPour boiling water over the cashews and let sit for fifteen minutes. Drain.
Processing
Add the cashews, salt, dill, and half of the lemon juice.Process in the food processor, stopping every so often to scrape down the sides. At this point, you can taste and adjust seasonings (more dill, salt, and lemon juice). I added more lemon juice to thin the consistency and a little more dill (I like a burst of flavor).
Process for 4-5 minutes. If it still has too much texture, you can thin it out with more lemon juice or water. I personally like a little texture to mine.
I used a large lemon for this recipe.
