Caeser Salad Dressing (vegan)

by | Jan 28, 2015

So much creaminess. So much flavor. So much joy.

This Caesar salad dressing is packed with plant based nutrients. Instead of egg yolk and cheese, this dressing gets it’s creaminess from cashews, and flavor from fresh lemon, garlic, capers and mustard.

This is so simple. Ready?

Place everything in the blender, then blend, blend, blend! It gets even thicker as it just hangs out waiting for you to use it. If you aren’t using right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge and it will last for about a week. You can use this as a delicious salad dressing, a replacement for mayonnaise or tangy dip for a fresh vegetable platter.

It’s creamy, flavorful and downright ridiculously good!
