Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup raw cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely grated with a Microplane grater
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • ground black pepper

Method

  • In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the cashew butter and water. Stir with a spoon or small spatula until the cashew butter is broken up and slightly incorporated. Press the chunks of cashew butter up against the sides of the jar to get it as integrated as possible.
  • Add the garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Tightly secure the lid, and shake the jar vigorously until the dressing has a smooth and creamy consistency. Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
