This isn’t the first time I posted a Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe, so why do a second? Three reasons.

1. I wanted to make a dressing I could feel good about eating. I’m talking whole foods only, not even you, oil!

2. I didn’t want to rely on any products. The first recipe uses Vegenaise, which I love and highly recommend, but not everyone can get it or has it readily on hand. I wanted ingredients that you likely already have, or at least could easily pick up.

And 3. I just felt like it. So there.

So what did I do? I made a whole foods, oil free, GUILT FREE, Creamy Cashew Caesar Salad Dressing, and yes, it really does taste good. Infact it has everything I love about a good Caesar salad. It’s rich, creamy, garlicy, zesty, and just damn tasty!

    This is so simple. Ready? Chuck everything in the blender, then blend, blend, blend! Creamy delicious smoothness! It gets even thicker as it just hangs out waiting for you to use it. If you aren’t using right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
    If you store this in the fridge it gets even thicker and you can use for veggie dip, on tacos, veggie burgers, sandwich spread, for fries, you name it! Omnomnom.
    Bon Appetegan!
