Rawnion Dip

from living on live food, by Alissa Cohen

2 cups raw Macadamia nuts

1 ½ cups water

1 small – medium red onion

Sea salt

juice of 1 lemon (optional)

dill (optional)

black pepper (optional)

A simple raw onion dip, soak Macadamia nuts for 3 hours or covered in the fridge overnight.  Mix in either a food processor or high speed blender nuts and 1 cup of water and ¼ tsp sea salt, adding additional water as needed.  Add in the juice of 1 lemon.  Blend or process until smooth.  Finely chop onion and cover with ¼ tsp sea salt; let sit for 15 minutes.  Squeeze onion and salt mixture, until onions are more translucent, and squeeze out any extra liquid.  Add to nut mixture and season to taste.  Refrigerate one hour before serving.  Will keep for 4 days.

Serve with flax crackers or carrots or other veggies
