Healthy Ranch Dressing

Preparation: 20 minutes

Makes about 1 Cup

Ingredients:

½ cup water

2 ounces raw, unsalted cashews (about ½ cup)

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon granulated onion

½ teaspoon granulated garlic

1 green onion, sliced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or 3/4 teaspoon dried)

Directions:

Place the water, cashews, lemon juice, vinegar, granulated onion, and granulated garlic into a blender, set aside for at least 15 minutes so the cashews can soften.

Blend until very smooth, adding a little water as needed.

Add the green onion and dill, and blend for just a few more seconds so that you can still see green flecks in the dressing.

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight for the best flavor. Store leftover dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to five days and shake before using. If the dressing is too thick, stir in a little water.
