Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
Caesar Salad was a favorite in our house when I was growing up. It can be hard to find a good Caesar dressing without anchovies, let alone without any dairy or eggs – so finding a vegan alternative that also tastes great is quite a feat. I have only ever found one store bought vegan-friendly Caesar dressing, and while it sure makes it easy for a quick dressing when you don’t have the time to boil cashews, nothing quite beats homemade. I took it upon myself to try making my own dressing, and it took a lot of trial and error and failed salads before I came up with a vegan Caesar salad dressing that tastes like the real deal. This cashew based Caesar salad dressing will be my go-to from here on out, and I highly recommend it to anybody who loves a good dairy-free Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing!
