Vegan Caesar Dressing
Description
Vegan Caesar Dressing is prepared by placing raw cashew nuts, fresh garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, drained capers, water, and freshly ground black pepper into a high-speed blender. These ingredients combine into a smooth, creamy emulsion that mimics the richness and tang of classic Caesar dressing but uses all plant-based components.
The cashews provide creaminess and body while lemon juice adds brightness. Dijon mustard and capers contribute sharp, savory, and slightly salty notes characteristic of Caesar dressing. Freshly ground pepper offers mild heat and complexity.
This dressing suits green salads, vegetable dips, and as a sauce for grain bowls or sandwiches requiring a tangy, creamy vegan option.
