Ingredients
Vegan Caesar Dressing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup drippy tahini (we use Soom tahini)
- Juice from ½ large lemon (about 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
- 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
- 1 teaspoon very finely diced capers
- 2 teaspoons caper brine (from the jar of capers)
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (preferably grainy)
- 1-3 tablespoons warm water, to thin out dressing as desired
- Freshly ground salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add tahini, fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, diced capers, caper brine, dijon mustard, and warm water.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and creamy, adjusting the amount of warm water to reach your preferred dressing consistency.
- Season to Taste: Add freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt if needed, mixing again to combine.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately as a dressing for salads or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Stir before using.
Notes
- This dressing is naturally vegan and dairy-free, making it suitable for plant-based diets.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more warm water gradually.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may not have the same brightness.
- Dijon mustard varieties vary in intensity; adjust quantity to taste.
- The dressing pairs well with kale, romaine, or mixed green salads.
