“Hail to Caesar” Vegan Oil Free Salad Dressing

DESCRIPTION:

Creamy, zesty, and full of bold flavors—this plant-based Caesar dressing hits all the right notes without a drop of oil.  It’s rich from cashews, tangy from lemon and Dijon mustard and perfectly savory with capers and dulse.  Ideal for classic Caesar salad, wraps or as a dip for crisp veggies.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water
1 1/2 cup soy milk
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 medjool dates, pits removed
3 cloves garlic
1/2 Teaspoon dulse
1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
3 Tablespoons unfortified nutritional yeast
2 Tablespoons caper brine
2 Tablespoons capers
1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
2 or 3 Tablespoons of water, as needed

PREPARATION:

1-Soak your cashews in boiling water for at least one hour.  Once the cashews have softened, discard the cashew water.
2-Place everything in the order as listed here, except the water, in a high speed blender.  Blend until completely smooth.
3-Check the consistency, you may want to add a little bit of water as it will thicken up a bit once it’s in the fridge.  The flavors really come together once it’s in the refrigerator for a few hours.
