Daphne Debauchee's The Best Vegan Caesar Dressing
I missed Caesar dressing when I became vegan, so I was determined to make my own and with the delicious sea flavor that I love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Olive tapenade hummus
- 8 Garlic cloves very finely minced
- 6 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Capers minced
- 2 tbsp Caper brine
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 sheets Roasted laver finely shredded
- 1 - 2 tsp Maple syrup or agave optional
- 1 pinch Black salt optional
- Himalayan sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrape the oilve tapenade off the hummus, chop finely, and add to a small mixing bowl.
- Add hummus, zest, mustard, minced garlic, brine, capers, and laverto the mixing bowl with the chopped tapenade and whisk.
- Add half of 3 tbsp of lemon juice and whisk. Add more to taste.
- Add maple syrup or agave and whisk. Add more to taste.
Notes
Laver is the star of this recipe, but caper brine, lemon juice are the needed supporting cast. Add more brine and/or lemon juice to taste and if your dressing is too thick for you, add a little more of either for more oomph. If the taste is perfect and you just need to thin without adding more flavor, use a little hot water to thin it out.
Another reason I love this dressing? It lasts up to a week in the fridge!
