If you’re a huge Caesar salad fan like I am, you may have had trouble finding a plant-based dressing that compared to the creamy, garlicky, dairy-based dressings everyone knows and loves. Over the past 2 years I have tweaked this to be just right. Went vegan and thought you’d never have a tasty Caesar dressing again? You will be pleasantly surprised! Oil-free, totally raw (except the capers), and packed with all the health benefits of cashews! Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup raw cashews
- ½ cup distilled water
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ tablespoon capers with brine
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Combine cashews, water, garlic, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, capers and brine, salt, mustard, and pepper in a cup-sized high-powered blender (such as Ninja® or Vitamix®). Blend until creamy.
Cook’s Notes:
Use apple cider vinegar for white balsamic vinegar and Himalayan salt for sea salt, if preferred.
