Our favorite party dip. Doubles up as a lovely salad dressing. Great replacement for market bought mayonnaise dip. Easy on pocket, easy on tummy. Can be used as dairy cheese replacement in many baking preprations.

Ingredients

• Cashews: ½ cup
• Water: 2 cup
• Lemon Juice: 1- 2 lemons (per taste)
• Rock salt: as per taste
• Peppercorns: 5-6 (whole) or Pepper powder to taste
• Garlic: 4-5 cloves, finely chopped (more if you like the garlicky taste)
• Green chillies:2,chopped (optional)
• Herbs Addition
  • Herbs of choice (optional) – we like it with mixed dried herbs or fresh basil
  • Can add mint & coriander for an Indian touch
• Add roasted red pepper or raw beetroot for that lovely color!

Method

• Wash cashews well.
• Soak in ample water for 4 hours (If short on time 2 hours soaking is good too).
• Discard the water; rinse the cashews well once again.
• Add all the ingredients in a blender and grind well.
• Add some water to get a thick paste like consistency (Don’t overdo the water!).
• Taste to balance the lemon and salt (Keep it more sour).
• Keep in fridge - Will taste better; cheese like with time.

Good to use for 2-3 days when kept in fridge.
