Ingredients
3/4 cup mayo (homemade, vegan or Helman’s)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice, or half and half)
2 tsp capers, finely chopped
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (vegan & GF if needed)
2 cloves garlic, minced, crushed or grated
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
2 tbsp parmesan cheese (or vegan parm substitute)
Method
- Add all ingredients into a mason jar or dressing bottle (or other airtight container if storing after use).
- Mix to combine well.
- Add desired amount to your base and toss to combine.
- Add in your other favourite caesar salad components and toss lightly to combine.
Notes:
- I’m sure that you have your own caesar salad faves, but I wanted to share some of my favourite ingredients and hope they inspire you!
- Base: chopped romaine lettuce, mix of romaine and baby kale, massaged kale
- Crunch: gluten-free croutons, Crispy Roasted Chickpeas, parmesan crisps (ex. Whisps), garlicky toasted nuts
- Protein: chopped bacon (I get nitrite-free bacon), simulated bacon (typically already vegan!), parmesan (vegan parm if needed), grilled chicken, shrimp or tempeh, smoked salmon, crispy breaded chicken (I use gluten-free bread crumbs) or Crispy Rice Tofu
- Make it Fancy: avocado slices or cubes, medium boiled egg quarters, tomatoes (I can’t eat tomatoes, but this makes it into the popular “Bloody Caesar”), lemon wedges
- This dressing is also a great dip or spread for all of your favourite snacks, sandwiches, and wraps!
