Icon: number 1

Prepare your cashews night before. Soak the cashews in 2 cups of water and let them rest overnight. If you are preparing the dip ad hoc soak the cashews for 15 minutes in 2 cups of boiling water. In the meantime squeeze the lemons and crush the garlic. Get rid of all the water from the cashews and rinse them thoroughly.

Put cashews, lemon juice and garlic into the blender. Add sundried tomatoes and their oil, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients, scraping down the sides of the mixer as needed. Add some olive oil - the amount depends on your desired consistency of a dip. Taste and season accordingly.

The dip becomes pretty thick after being refrigerated. Feel free to thin with a bit of water or more olive oil to thin it out.

Enjoy it as a dip with fresh veggies or as a spread over fresh or toasted bread.
