I created this creamy cashew salad dressing recipe for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted raw cashews
- 0.5 cups water , or more as needed
- ¼ onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime , juiced
- 2 cloves garlic , peeled
- 0.5 teaspoons dried basil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

Combine cashews, water, onion, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender; blend until completely smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a little more water for a runnier dressing.
