Caesar salad used to be one of my favorite things to order growing up.. until I grew up and learned how incredibly unhealthy caesar dressing is! So I was determined to find a way to still enjoy this salad and its dressing but in a healthier way and this dressing is definitely IT!
This dressing is completely dairy-free and vegan! How did I accomplish that? Mostly with cashews, nutritional yeast, and capers..
Stay tuned for recipes upcoming for homemade croutons and putting it all together for a vegan caesar salad!
