Creamy Cashew Salad Dressing image

I created this for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!

This dressing is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using less cashews next time.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I substituted them with sunflower seeds. It worked out great! The dressing was still creamy and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dressing turned out really watery. Not sure what went wrong.

This dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little honey or maple syrup next time to balance out the flavors.
