Instructions

For the vegan caesar dressing:

  1. Put all of the above ingredients, except for the water, into a blender and blend until thick and creamy.

  2. Add the water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Recipe Notes

  • The amount of water needed will depend on the type of soy milk that you use.
  • The protein in the soy milk gives the dressing a creamy texture.  If you choose to use a different type of non-dairy milk, it will not be as thick, so you can omit the water.
  • Make sure to use plain soy milk and not vanilla!
  • If you don't want a slightly fishy flavor, omit the kelp flakes. 
  • Top the salad with grilled vegan "chicken" strips like my homemade vegan chicken or the Beyond Meat brand for a more filling meal.
