- juice of ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- dash of pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Soak the cashews and sun dried tomatoes in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse.

Notes
Be sure to get the sun dried tomatoes that are NOT packed in oil. The ones I get come in a bag, not a jar. Some stores keep them by the other dried fruit; other stores keep them by the sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (which is usually near the olives, jarred roasted red peppers, pestos, etc).
