½ cup water
2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
If you don’t have a high-speed, you should soak the cashews overnight.
You don’t need to soak the cashews if you have a quality blender.
Drain the cashews and add all the ingredients other than the fresh basil and parsley if soaking.
Blend until smooth.
Chop the parsley and basil separately, and stir into the dressing
All dressing thickens in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
For a thicker dip, reduce the water to ¼ cup.
