  • ½ C water
  • ½ lime or lemon, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ C shredded cucumber
  • 3 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

  • Drain and rinse cashews from the soaking water. Add to a high-powered blender along with water, lime (or lemon) juice, garlic, sea salt, and ground black pepper and blend until very smooth.
