Place the cashews along with the other ingredients, EXCEPT the chopped cilantro and parsley, into a blender (I used my Vitamix, but any blender will work.).
Blend until completely smooth. Taste and feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and/or salt if needed.
Empty the contents of the blender into a bowl. Mix in the finely chopped parsley and cilantro.
Chill and store in the fridge until ready to use. Drizzle over salads, use as a dipping sauce, or spread on your favorite sandwich!
Notes
Cashews - You do not need to soak the cashews if you are using a powerful blender such as a vitamix. Simply blend on high until the dressing gets nice and creamy. If you do not have a powerful blender, this recipe will still work just fine, as long as you soak the cashews for 3-4 hours prior to blending to ensure creaminess.Cucumber - I love the added taste cucumbers bring to this recipe, but you can just as easily omit the cucumbers.Batch Size - depending on the size of your blender container, you may need to make twice the batch to make sure that the cashews fully blend into a creamy smooth dressing.
