If you're a huge Caesar salad fan like I am, you may have had trouble finding a plant-based dressing that compared to the creamy, garlicky, dairy-based dressings everyone knows and loves. Over the past 2 years I have tweaked this to be just right. Went vegan and thought you'd never have a tasty Caesar dressing again? You will be pleasantly surprised! Oil-free, totally raw (except the capers), and packed with all the health benefits of cashews! Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

¾ cup raw cashews
½ cup distilled water
1 medium garlic clove
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ tablespoon capers with brine
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste

Directions

Combine cashews, water, garlic, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, capers and brine, salt, mustard, and pepper in a cup-sized high-powered blender (such as Ninja® or Vitamix®). Blend until creamy.

Cook's Notes:

Use apple cider vinegar for white balsamic vinegar and Himalayan salt for sea salt, if preferred.

If storing in the fridge, it will become thick. Mix in a small amount of water to thin dressing before use.
