Ingredients
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1 English cucumber (about 1 1/4 pound), peeled and shredded
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Method
Soak cashews with enough water to cover for at least 4 hours. Drain.
Place shredded cucumber in a strainer and set aside for at least 15 minutes to drain, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. You should have about 1 1/2 cups packed shredded cucumber. Transfer cucumber to the bowl of a food processor. Add drained cashews, lemon juice, dill and chives and purée until dip is smooth and creamy. Garnish with pine nuts and serve.
