Was Caesar a Vegan?
Probably not. But this salad dressing is 🙂
I actually just adapted this from the Krishna dressing recipe that I posted earlier. I love it so much, I decided I needed to play with it. So here’s what went into it:
Vegan Caesar Dressing (It made like, 2 cups of dressing)
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 3/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cups water
- 1/2 cups olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp vegan parmesan cheese (I like galaxy parmesan)
- 2 cloves garlic (I used about 1/2 tsp of minced garlic, because I’m lazy)
- 1 tsp salt
I just threw the almonds into the vitamix with the olive oil, and let that get nice and creamy. Then I tossed everything else in, and blended until smooth. This stuff was DELICIOUS. Seriously. I mean, I’m not a vegan anymore, but I think this stuff was tastier than cheese filled Caesar dressing. So simple. (And check out the nutritional stats for a 2 tbsp servings of this bad boy!)
I also didn’t have croutons know that I had croutons in my cabinet, so I toasted a slice of whole wheat bread with some Smart Balance Light, and sprinkled it with some garlic salt. Then I sliced it up and topped my salad with it. That’s right, lazy girl croutons.
In other news, I can’t get rid of this cold. Just when I thought the congestion was leaving, I woke up with a sore throat! Blech. Any cold remedies I should try?

Hey Liz, Let me ask you a question.
Is egg veg or Non-veg ?
Let me know.
Hey andy! There are many types of vegetarians, some that eat eggs, some that eat fish, etc. I personally eat eggs!
Liz I love your new photo!!!!! <3 I was thinking of adding a larger picture to the side of mine too but I was worried about it being like *BAM! this is me!* but it looks absolutely perfecto on your blog! <3 So I may copy you if you don't mind! hehe let me know!
Yum! That ceasar dressing sounds absolutely delicious. Sorry to hear you’re not feeling all too well though. Lots of rest, water, and tea usually helps me. Hope you get over your cold soon!
Sweeet recipe. Will have to try this for sure.
Cold remedies… try umeboshi plums. They are kind of pricey and a tad salty but they really are miracle foods. I like to make tea with them and I swear by the benefits.
nutritional yeast is such a godsend!! Makes so many delicous recipes, like this one!
Cold remedy? hmm…..hot tea with lemon/honey and lots of rest.
🙂
Your comment to me on the burger makings looking like puke…I just laughed out loud! Seriously, sometimes they are the worst looking things, but taste so good!
Your dressing looks so good. I totally do the lazy girl croutons. I think they are better than boxed anyway. I hope you feel better soon. I drink a lot of tea and eat apples when I am coming down with a cold. My husband swears by hot toddies. Feel better and get some rest tonight!
Mhmm this looks delicious! I’m in love with caesar salad-it’s one of my favorite kinds! Usually I have a homemade olive oil-mayo based one, but I want to try your recipe now; I love a good vegan recipe:)
Yay for vegan caesar!!
Sorry to hear about your cold! Get lots of rest and eat some yummy soup 🙂
Lazy girl croutons totally rule… I’ve done that a fair share of times! 🙂
Lots of rest!! Your body does a ton of healing while sleeping so make sure you don’t stress yourself out and get become best friends with your bed. 🙂 Lots of vitamin C too!
