Easy Vegan Caesar Dressing
I think we can all agree, the first monster to throw whole anchovies into a blender with a couple of raw egg yolks and call it edible was, to be generous, real head-case.
​
It's 2020 people.
We have robotic vacuums, wireless internet and the ability to hand-pick the sex of our offspring. Its time to do away with the salmonella-seasoned status quo and revamp the timeless classics with ingredients that are protective, affordable and easy to work with.
​
Starting the movement off with this timeless American staple. Making romaine worth eating since 99'.

MOVE THAT BUS.
​
Prep time: 10 miN
Total time: 10 min
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup plain store-bought hummus
-
2 tsp spicy mustard
-
1 tsp lemon zest
-
1/4 cup lemon juice
-
1 Tbsp capers, minced well
-
1 Tbsp brine (packing liquid) from capers
-
3 Tbsp minced garlic
-
pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
-
2 tsp maple syrup (optional)
Directions:
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper as desired.
The maple syrup will cut the saltiness a bit and help bring out a fuller flavor to the dressing, but feel free to omit if desired.
​
Serve immediately over chopped romaine, sliced avocado, salty pistachios, and crunchy toasted croutons, or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
ENJOY!
