Caesar Salad Dressing – Vegan

This creamy vegan caesar dressing will hit the spot, even for the most discerning of caesar salad lovers. Made from a cashew base, with capers to give it the right sharp, salty flavor. I suggest serving over baby kale with chickpea croutons for an added healthy protein crunch!
