return of the cashew cream

after enjoying the Onion Cashew cream on my meal at Thrive, i found a recipe online and tried making it myself. i don't know if this is the exact recipe they used, but my attempt turned out alright.

http://hi-rawkus.com/recipe/onion-and-herbs-cashew-cream/
2 cups raw cashews (preferably soaked for one hour)
1/2 cup pure water
3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Vidalia onion, chopped small
1 level teaspoon Herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

i made a few changes, i just used as much flesh and juice that i could get out of one medium lemon, it was probably 3 tablespoons or less. i used a pinch of rosemary and two dried basil leaves for the herbs. and i used my homemade kombucha in lieu of apple cider vinegar (they taste very similar), and a plain yellow onion. i had to use a blender, which is probably why mine was a little less creamy(more granulated) than the restaurant version.

i used it as a dip with some of my dried zucchini chips(flavored with taco seasoning)

i still have plenty left over so it will go on more meals.

this is another recipe from this website that i'd like to try.
