Ingredients
Directions
Add the cashews and water to a blender and blend until creamy smooth. This may take several rounds of blending, scraping down the sides, and blending again.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend again until smooth. Start with one teaspoon of maple syrup and add another if you’d like to cut the acidity of the apple cider vinegar even further.

Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Substitute raw sunflower seeds in place of cashews.
Use any green powder you love like a variety of greens, spirulina, matcha, or other green powder you have on hand.
Use another herb of choice in place of cilantro, such as parsley, basil, or chives (you may want to omit the shallots or onion if you use chives).
Instead of shallots, use white, red, yellow, or green onion.
Soaking the Cashews or Sunflower Seeds
If you’re using a high-speed blender, you don’t necessarily need to soak the cashews. However, if you’re using a food processor or a blender that is not high-speed, you’ll want to soak your cashews or sunflower seeds in room temperature water for 1–2 hours or hot water for 30 minutes then drain before adding them to the blender or food processor. This will result in a creamier texture.
Whole Food Sweetener
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 5 days.
