Creamy Vegan Caesar Dressing

What could be better than vegan, waste free, DELICIOUS, Caesar dressing in a super cute hand-me-down bowl!
Other than combining it with my coco-bacon bits, and my homemade garlicky croutons, I don't really know.

I used to love Caesar dressing, but when I found out the horrors of the dairy industry, I didn't eat it for so unbelievably long.
I started to follow a lot of vegan people on Instagram and I was seeing all this stuff that I never even considered could be made vegan. Super creamy mac and cheese? Fettuccine Alfredo? Caesar and Ranch dressing?!

So I tested some recipes, and figured out the least time consuming way to do it, and voila!
The most amazing, and creamiest dressing, that tastes just like the real thing!



Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup of soaked cashews (see directions for quick soak method)
• 1/4 cups of water
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp of lemon juice (fresh is always best)
• 1/2 tbsp Dijon or sriracha mustard (you can add more if you like the zesty spice)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
• 1 large garlic clove, chopped into roughly 8 pieces 
• 2 tsp capers
• 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper

Directions: 

Literally just throw everything in a blender and blend on medium (or the milkshake setting as I like to call it) until its nice and smooth. 

*If you're pressed for time, you can use the "quick soak" method. 

Put your cashews in a pot with enough water to cover them fully. Bring it to a boil, then remove from heat and cover them. 

Let that sit for 15 minutes and then strain the water out. 

They should be soft and ready to use!
