Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
