Three Feathers Zippy Raw Ranch Dip / Dressing

We sometimes like to serve some fresh veggies and dip alongside a meal instead of a salad. Or- even eat as a snack! I have been trying to come up with a recipe to replace the old commercially made stuff we used to buy that we liked that is loaded with preservatives and chemicals that we now avoid. This stuff has a little zesty kick to it and it is awesome! And a few dips make the healthy veggies disappear all the more quickly!

Zippy Raw Ranch

2 cups raw cashews soaked 1 hour
2 medjool dates – soaked with cashews

2 ½ tsps. Dill weed
1 tbs dried chives
2 tbs dried parsley
½ tsp salt
½ tsp red pepper
