Start by soaking 1.5 cups of raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours or boil them in water for 10 minutes if you don't have time to soak.

Drain and rinse the cashews after soaking or boiling.

In a blender, combine the soaked cashews with 0.75 cups of water, 0.25 cups of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Blend the mixture until it is very smooth.

Do not add the parsley and dill yet, as it will turn the dressing green.

Once blended, refrigerate the dressing to thicken it up before serving.

For the fresh herbs, whisk together 0.25 cups of fresh dill and 2 tablespoons of parsley separately.

Combine the herb mixture with the blended dressing before serving.
