To cut down on the amount of calories in this dip, we used raw zucchini as the base instead of nuts. If you want to snack on some raw carrot or celery sticks, this is a great dip to use.

Notes
If you have a Vitamix you do not have to soak the cashews or the dates or use the almond milk, but if using another blender or food processor that is lower powered it is highly recommended to make this dip easier to blend.
