Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 piece seaweed (Either roasted/salted or sushi nori seaweed will work. I used a 7 in. x 2 in. piece. Optional.)
Directions
Step 1 | |
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender. (I use Vitamix.) Blend on high until smooth. | |
Step 2 | |
Taste for salt. You might need more than just 1 teaspoon if you aren't using the roasted salted seaweed. If you don't like the fishy flavor of "real" Caesar salad, you can omit the seaweed. | |
Step 3 | |
Pour your dressing over a Romaine lettuce salad, top with some fresh croutons and your favorite vegan "cheese" shreds, and devour. |
