Vegan Caesar Dressing
Report
This Vegan Caesar Dressing uses firm tofu as the creamy base complemented by lemon, garlic, and umami-rich ingredients like capers, caper brine, and roasted seaweed snacks. The dressing is blended until smooth and adjusted with olive oil for the desired consistency. It offers a savory, tangy flavor profile without any dairy or eggs, suitable for salads needing a bold plant-based dressing.
Description
The Vegan Caesar Dressing delivers a smooth, creamy texture from blended firm tofu combined with bright lemon juice and pungent garlic. Capers and their brine contribute a salty, briny depth, while roasted seaweed snacks add an umami note reminiscent of traditional anchovies, without using animal products. Dijon mustard enhances the tang and complexity. Olive oil is incorporated gradually to enrich and thin the dressing to the preferred texture. This dressing can be used immediately but benefits from resting to allow flavors to meld.
