Instructions
Cashew Ranch Dressing
  1. In a food processor or blender, puree the cashews, water, garlic, rice vinegar, salt, pepper, dill, and oregano for a few minutes, or until creamy. For best results, drizzle water in gradually as the machine is running.
  2. Stir in the chives. Leftover dressing can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to seven days.
Grilled Veggie Bowls

  2. Season the chicken breast, corn, asparagus, bell pepper and zucchini with olive oil, sea salt (about ½ teaspoon total) and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon total).
  3. Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
  4. Meanwhile, grill the corn for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating after every pop, until golden. And grill the asparagus, bell pepper and zucchini for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until tender.
  5. Divide the chicken, corn, asparagus, bell pepper and zucchini evenly into two bowls. Drizzle each bowl with 2 tablespoons of the Cashew Ranch Dressing.
  6. Note: Bowl leftovers can be refrigerated for up to four days.
