Creamy Cilantro Ranch Dressing & Vegan Sour Cream

Top: Vegan Sour Cream

This dressing is DELISH, if I do say so myself! It's wonderful on salad, on tacos, fajitas, or anywhere else you'd like some creamy herbal flavour.  It's dairy-free, but you'd never know it. To make this delicious dressing and sauce, you'll need to first make vegan sour cream - but don't worry, that takes less than 5 minutes!

Vegan Sour Cream
makes 1 cup

• 1C Raw Cashews (soaked in water for 1-3 hours, then rinsed)
• 1/4 C Spring Water
• Fresh Lemon Juice (from 1 large lemon)
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
• Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar

⇰ Blend all ingredients in a blender until very smooth. A tip to getting things to blend well is to put all the liquid in first, and then the solids. You may need to add more water to get it to the right consistancy.
