Dairy-Free Green Goddess Dressing (Paleo)

Green Goddess dressing is a reader favorite, but I know many of you can’t consume dairy, so I’ve got a new dairy-free green goddess recipe for you!

The cashews are soaked overnight, drained and then pureed with water, herbs, lemon, garlic, and anchovies to create a creamy all-purpose dressing. 

You can use the dressing on salads, grilled or sautéed vegetables, pastured meats, or fish. It keeps for about 1 week in the fridge. Enjoy!
