Avocado Caesar Salad (Vegan, Paleo)
Description
The recipe combines avocado and minced garlic with acidic lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, adding Dijon mustard for subtle pungency. Nutritional yeast contributes a nutty, cheesy note without dairy, while water adjusts the consistency to create a smooth dressing. This mixture is blended until completely smooth and poured over chopped Romaine lettuce, which is then tossed to coat evenly.
The resulting salad has a creamy texture and bright flavors without traditional Caesar ingredients such as anchovies or cheese, making it suitable for specific dietary preferences. It can be served alongside roasted potatoes used as croutons to add a warm, crunchy contrast.
Leftover dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to three days, allowing for quick preparation of subsequent salads.
