This Creamy Cashew Herb Dressing is one my favorites to make as soon as it starts to feel like Spring and then I continue to make and inhale them all summer long when fresh herbs are in abundance!
The Creamy Cashew Herb Dressing is adapted from The Crunchy Radish and is one of my favorites because you can switch up the herbs based on what you have on hand or preferences.
Here’s what I like to make it with with: cashews (soaked in water), extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, sherry vinegar, scallions, salt and pepper.
It also doubles as a delicious dipping sauce.
Hope you love it as much as we do!
