Caesar dressing rules. It's super rich, the perfect kind of tangy, and you can put it on almost anything. But caesar salad isn't exactly known for having vital health benefits or being easy on the digestive system. So here's a delicious alternative. A raw vegan version of this indulgent classic that's made with only super clean ingredients that you probably have in your fridge right now.
- 3/4 cup soaked (overnight) almonds
- 1/2 olive oil
- juice of one lemon
- one tablespoon white vinegar
- one teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- two tablespoon course ground dijon mustard
- one clove garlic
- pinch of sea salt
- ground black pepper to taste
Blend all ingredients until smooth. The almonds make the dressing creamy but also create a grainy texture just like parmesan does in traditional caesar. feel free to add more lemon if needed. In fact, you can adjust any measurements to taste. dip any raw veggies you want, toss it with romaine, or drizzle it over kale and add some smoked tempeh (as pictured above).
There you go... enjoy crazy delicious caesar dressing without the belly ache.
