Vegan Caesar Dressing

Most Caesar Dressing is made using eggs and anchovies.  This vegan version uses cashews, sunflower seeds, and dulse to get that creamy, salty flavor.  I love using this dressing on a salad made up of red kale, onion, tomatoes, and black olives-add croutons if you would like, but it tastes great without them.

Vegan Caesar Dressing

makes about 1 1/2 cups of dressing

1/4 c raw sunflower seeds, soaked and drained

1/2 c raw cashews, soaked and drained

3/4 c water

1/2 t dijon mustard

1/2 t vegan worcestershire sauce

2 T lemon juice

1 T dulse flakes

1 1/2 T nutritional yeast

1/2 T miso

1 large clove garlic

1/8 t white pepper

3/4 t black pepper

1/2 t celery salt

Place the cashews and sunflower seeds into a bowl and cover with water.  Soak for an hour, then drain.  

In a high speed blender, add the cashews, sunflower seeds, water, mustard, worcestershire sauce, dulse, nutritional yeast, miso, garlic, pepper, and celery salt.  Blend until smooth.

Assemble your favorite salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with as much dressing as you would like.
