Vegan Ranch Dressing

• Ingredients
• 1/4 cup raw cashews (see note about soaking)
• 1 1/4 cup plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk (I used Westsoy)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (more if using Meyer lemons)
• 1 clove garlic (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons chives, raw or freeze-dried, snipped

2. Instructions
3. Place all ingredients except parsley and chives into blender and process on high until smooth. Add parsley and chives and blend on low briefly to incorporate them. Check seasonings and add more as needed, but remember that the flavor will get stronger over time. Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend. Stir or shake before serving.
4. Notes
5. If you are using a regular blender, soak the cashews first to soften them before blending. Cover them with water and allow them to stand for at least 4 hours. Pour off the water before proceeding with the recipe. You may need to reduce the amount of non-dairy milk by a couple of tablespoons to prevent the dressing from being too thin.
