Vegan Caesar Dressing
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.
