Vegan Caesar Dressing

This vegan caesar salad dressing is healthy, easy to make, nut-free and contains no oil. It’s perfect for classic ceasar salads and also works well as a dip, spread or sauce.

Recipe Features

• healthy – contains no oil and is actually rich in protein!
• vegan, gluten-free and nut-free – works for those with allergies or dietary restrictions
• tastes like the real thing – you’ll be surprised by the briny, tangy flavour and creamy texture

---

Ingredient Notes

• tofu – use soft tofu, not silken, just soft
• garlic – fresh garlic or garlic powder works, I actually prefer garlic powder but if you really love garlic, cloves will add a bit more bite
• dijon mustard – any kind of dijon mustard works
• miso paste – make sure you use white miso paste – it really makes the dressing
• lemon and apple cider vinegar – I like the combo of both of these for adding the tanginess, if you don’t have ACV, white or white wine vinegar works too

Method

To make this dressing, blend everything up until smooth and creamy.

Quick Note: If you need to adjust the thickness, add water 1 teaspoon, blend again and repeat as needed until it reaches your desired consistency.

Notes

• Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Makes enough for 1 large caesar salad that would serve 4.
• Feel free to double if you want to make extra and store in the fridge.
