Calories 54 kcal
- 1 cup whole raw cashews (soaked 2 to 4 hrs; unless you have a high powered blender)
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water (plus more as needed)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Soak whole raw cashews for 2 to 4 hrs for a smooth consistency. If you own a high-powered blender, you can skip this step!
Drain and rinse cashews (if needed). Add all ingredients to your blender. Blend until smooth.
If it still seems grainy or is not blended well, try adding a small amount of water (no more than a tbsp) until it reaches a consistency similar to sour cream.
Serve immediately or toss in the refrigerator for a couple hours to serve chilled. This dip will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use in your favorite recipes as a dairy-free sour cream alternative, or as a yummy topping or dip!
