Ingredients
- ¼ c Tahini
- 1 clove garlic medium
- 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon capers minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- ⅓ c warm water
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine creamy Tahini, garlic pushed through a garlic press, chopped capers, Miso paste, Dijon mustard, Maple syrup and pepper.
- Give everything a good whisk to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Slowly start adding water and continue whisking until you reach the desired consistency.
- Perfect Caesar dressing should be creamy, rich and runny. If the sauce is too thick, feel free to add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Give dressing a taste to see if it needs more salt, pepper. Otherwise, transfer the vegan Caesar dressing in a 8-oz jar, cover with a lid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Miso paste is already quite salty so I recommend adding salt to a dairy-free Caesar dressing at the very end. This way it's easy to regulate the amount of salt in the dressing.
- Use the knife to finely mince the capers. No need to use a food processor.
- Storage. Store this vegan Caesar Salad dressing in a covered jar in a fridge for about 1 week.
- Possible add-ons:
- Kalamata olives. Make sure they're pitted and drained. Add ½ tablespoon of finely minced olives to the dressing.
- Worcestershire sauce. Add 1 teaspoon to the dressing.
- Roasted garlic. You can use it as a substitution for raw garlic. 1-2 cloves of roasted garlic should be enough for this recipe.
