Notes

Quick-soaking cashews: If you don't remember to soak your cashews overnight, you can also cover them in boiling water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse them in cool water when they're ready to use.
Dried herbs: If you don't have fresh herbs, you can sub in 1 heaping tablespoon each of dried dill and chives, and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.
How to store: Store this dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It may thicken slightly overnight, so you can stir in extra water as needed to refresh it.
