Cover the cashews with cold water by 1 to 2 inches in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the cashews are doubled in size, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and rinse.
Put the cashews in a blender or food processor along with the cilantro, 1 jalapeño, the garlic, 1 cup water, the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon salt. Blend until creamy and smooth. Add more salt, jalapeño and/or lemon juice to taste and reblend if necessary.
Refrigerate the dip until cold. Serve alongside crudités and/or tortilla chips. Provecho!
