Wash cashews in a colander under very hot water. Drain well.
Place drained cashews, water, lemon juice, tahini, oil, granulated onion, salt, and granulated garlic in blender and blend well. (A heavy-duty blender works best for this recipe; other blenders may not get the mixture smooth enough.) Scrape down sides of blender and blend again until mixture is very, very smooth.
Add dried minced onion and blend until mixed.
Stir in dried parsley and chives. Chill.
Notes
This recipe works best with a heavy duty blender, such as a Blendtec or a Vitamix. Do not divide this recipe; the full amount is needed for the ingredients to blend well in a blender.Yield: 2 cups (16 2-tablespoon servings)
