This delicious and nutritious dip is great with fresh, raw vegetables. You can also thin it out with extra oil and lemon juice. Parsley and lemon are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, while raw cashews are creamy and nutritious, especially when soaked in water beforehand with a pinch of salt, ideally for 4-6 hours.

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
