Method
 

Dressing
  1. Make the dressing first. To start, soak the cashews overnight. Place them in a bowl, cover them with water, then drain thoroughly once you're ready to get started.
  2. When ready to prepare, place strained cashews in a Vitamix blender or another powerful food processor.
  3. Add water, a little at a time, and keep blending. Continue adding water and blending until the cashews reach a creamy consistency.
  4. Add dill, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend well.
  5. Can be made ahead of time. Dressing should last 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
Salad
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. Drizzle oil on endives; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast endives for 20-25 minutes, until edges are browned.
  4. Plate with evenly distributed chopped grapes, pistachios, and dressing.
