*Soak the almonds for at least 6 hours, preferably 12 hours before using. Drain the water before using.
Add all of the ingredients into a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Option to add parsley for colour and flavour.
I’ve made this almond dip with a mixture of sunflower seeds and hemp hearts which works great as they blend easily and result in a smooth consistency. Sunflower seeds and hemp hearts do not require as long of a soaking process (minimal 1 hour, ideally 3).
Can I Make This Almond Dip Without Tahini?
Tahini can be omitted for this dip; another option is to add 1/4 cup of sesame seeds instead of tahini.
