Project Description
Are you a vegan that misses Caesar salad?
Maybe you’re just looking for a healthy alternative to the high calorie, dairy-based dressing usually used on Caesar salad. This dressing is filled with healthy, nutrient-filled ingredients that you can feel good about eating!
It certainly isn’t exactly like Caesar dressing. I think I like this one even more! My husband who is not a salad eater has been eating this salad multiple times a day and even using the dressing like a dip! He even gets the lettuce out and cuts it himself! You have no idea what a miracle this is. Greg does not do the lettuce cutting thing usually!
I recently bought a raw dressing at the new health food store in our area called Pomme. It is a great store! Anyway, it wasn’t bad, so I used some of the ingredients printed on the jar plus a few of my own and this is the lovely creation I came up with. I hope you like it!
Basically, you throw everything into the blender:
1 cup grapeseed oil – you could use olive oil or your oil of choice
1/4 cup tahini – a sesame seed paste usually used in hummus – loaded with calcium!
1/4 cup hemp hearts – a good source of protein and omegas!
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes – full of B-12 and other B vitamins
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp stone ground mustard
1 Tbsp agave syrup
1 tsp salt
2 cloves of garlic
Blend that stuff up, pour it into a jar, toss a couple tablespoons with some Romaine lettuce and munch away!
I hope you love it as much as we do. Your body will love you for it!
Good Health to you
