ramyaramesh3007Stop buying that Caesar dressing in a bottle – instead, make my easy vegan, gluten free & healthy creamy dressing and you won’t regret it!
While it may tempting to grab one of those Caesar dressing bottles when you are perusing your grocery store, stop yourself and think if you can easily recreate it at home. It definitely makes it easier if you have some of the ingredients on hand but even if you don’t, you can make this healthy dressing at home without the nasties. And the best part? It tastes just like the real deal.
This creamy version of my Caesar dressing goes perfectly on Caesar salad but you can also have it as a dip for a crunchy vegetable platters. That’s how versatile it tastes! At the same time, there’s a distinct flavour that aims to mimic traditional Caesar dressing that is made with anchovies, mayonnaise and sometimes even cheese!
The only part of making this dressing that may take a little longer is soaking the cashews. However, if you can be impatient like I am, I just boil my cashews for 5 minutes and leave it in the hot water as I’m preparing the rest of my ingredients.
This dressing is also completely vegan and can be made gluten free!
