Why So Blu "Cheeze"?

One of the many things I dislike about store bought salad dressings is that they are so fattening and have so many processed ingredients that you are advised to only use a 1/2 a teaspoon of dressing. Really? A 1/2 teaspoon of dressing? Seriously, why even bother? I cannot stand having to put a bit of dressing on my fork before I take it in with my salad just so I get a hint of the flavor without the guilt. It shouldn't be that way. I should not feel guilty about eating a salad because it was drenched in dressing (and by drench I mean taking in a full teaspoon). The solution? A healthier alternative that leaves you feeling like you've eaten something from a fast food joint because it's drowned in dressing!!!! Just like I like it!

Why So Blu "Cheeze"?
1 lemon (skin removed)
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dill 
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons mellow miso

In a food processor, process cashews using the "s" blade. Once cashews are processed to a fine powder consistency begin to add the rest of the ingredients beginning with olive oil. Process until you have a nice salad dressing texture. Dress up your favorite salad with this amazing dressing.

1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 stalks of celery, chopped

In a bowl combine all of the ingredients together. Toss. Add dressing. Enjoy! Try it and let me know what you think!
