Equipment

1 mini bullet blender

Ingredients

⅓ cup raw cashews, soaked (or gently boiled) and drained
½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped and packed
½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped and packed
1 green onion, both green and white parts, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp coconut aminos
2 ½ Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
⅓ cup water

Instructions

Start by preparing the cashews for blending. You can either soak them in water overnight to soften. Or a faster method is to bring a small pot of water (about 2 cups) to a gentle boil. Add cashews and let them simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the cashews sit in hot water while assembling the rest of the ingredients.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and parsley. You'll want ½ cup packed of each. Add parsley, cilantro, chopped green onion, garlic cloves, coconut aminos, the juice from 1 lemon to a blender and ⅓ cup of water.
Take the cashews from the pot and give them a quick rinse under cold water. Strain and add them to the blender with the other ingredients.
Blend on high speed for 15 to 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!

Notes

What to put this sauce on: This sauce goes beautifully on our chickpea buddha bowl, green goddess tacos, green goddess salad, and southwestern salad in a jar, a meal prep favorite.
Leftovers/meal prep: Store unused green goddess dressing in an airtight container (like a mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir or shake before using as ingredients may separate.
