Citrusy Ceasar Salad Dressing (Vegan)
This is zesty and sharp- sans anchovies or eggs. This makes it not only deliciously on the cleaner side of most ceasars, but also safe for sitting in the summer, picnics and all!
I just made it adding a lovely lemon basil I got at the Kits Farmers Market-- can also do regular basil or purple basil (just got some of that there too! such a cool colour!)
I love this dressing with shaved fennel (instead of regular old romaine) topped with parmesan and crisp fried capers.
If you are truly vegan, you can make "hemp parmesan" by blending equal amounts of hemp seeds with enjevita yeast flakes-- really ups your protein and B vitamin profile.
Ingredients
| 1 | Cup | olive oil |
| 1⁄4 | Cup | lemon juice ((from 2 lemons) ) |
| 1 | Tablespoon | white wine vinegar |
| 1 | Tablespoon | tamari |
| 2 | Teaspoon | capers (rinsed) |
| 1 | Clove | garlic (crushed) |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | chipotle puree (*) |
| 1 | Teaspoon | mustard powder ((or double the amount with dijon) ) |
| Dash | salt (to taste) | |
| Dash | pepper (to taste) |
Notes
- Blend all ingredients (either blender, food processor or with a whisk/fork!)
* chipotle peppers are roasted jalapenos-- you can buy them in a cute can set in adobo sauce-"hernandez" is a popular brand, most grocery stores carry in the "mexican" /ethnic food section. I whiz them in a food processor and store in fridge in a small canning jar, can use by the tsp in soups stews sauces, anytime you want to add a smoky flavour (without the toxicity of liquid smoke!) and or increase heat.
This is a great dressing for grilled caesar salad (grilling romaine on the barbeque!)
