Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, stems removed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh chives, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp filtered water
  • 1/4 cup carrot tops, optional
  • 1/2 medium bell pepper, sliced
  • Assortment of seasonal veggies: sugar snap peas, celery, carrots, radishes

Instructions

  1. Boil water and pour over the cashews. Let soak for 5 minutes, until softened.

  2. Drain the cashews and rinse with cold water.

  3. Add the cashews, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, water, and carrot tops to a blender. Blend until smooth. If the dip is too thick, add 1 tsp of water and blend. Keep adding a teaspoon of water until you reach your desired texture.

  4. Taste and adjust the herbs, if needed.

  5. Cut up the fresh veggies into small chunks or slices.

  6. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • The dip will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days. 
  • Change up the herbs to use what you have on hand! Fresh basil, dill, or cilantro would all make delicious dips.

Growing up I was overweight and ate a diet made up of convenient, processed foods. Then, when I was 16 years old, I had a tonsillectomy that resulted in weight loss. Seeing that I actually had muscle beneath my fat was enough to inspire me to abandon the unhealthy habits I had learned — I started exercising regularly, preparing nutritious meals and moving toward a holistic way of living.

As happy as I was about my new way of life, I was even more ecstatic when I learned I could make a career out of helping others do the same.
