Step 1

Soak the cashews (in enough boiling water) to cover for 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Place all of the ingredients in a blender. Process on high until completely blended and smooth, stopping to scrape down the container once or twice (note: the dressing will be fairly thin at this point).

Step 3

Taste the dressing; adjust any of the seasonings to taste (e.g., salt, pepper, herbs, vinegar, garlic) and re-blend as needed.

Step 4

Pour the dressing into a jar or other container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thicken.

Step 5

Shake the container, as needed, to remix the dressing.
