Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup raw cashews soaked for 3 hours and drained
  • 2 cloves Roasted Garlic
  • ½ cup Almond Milk
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Savory Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon white miso paste
  • ¾ teaspoon date sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Instructions
 

  • In a high-speed blender, combine all the ingredients except the parsley and dill, and blend until smooth. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and stir in the parsley and dill. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. (The flavor will get stronger as the dressing sits.) 
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to develop. Stir or shake before serving.
  • *Vinegar is an honorary Green Light condiment because of the health-promoting benefits of its acetic acid.

Notes

Note: If you prefer to skip the step of making Almond Milk, you may add 1/2 tablespoon smooth raw almond butter and 1/2 cup water to the blending mixture instead.
