How to make this Easy Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing
Making this vegan Caesar Salad Dressing couldn't be easier! All you need is a high-speed blender and you're ready to go. Simply add all your caesar dressing ingredients to your blend and blend at a high speed for about 5 minutes or until smooth.
What if I don't have a high-speed blender?
If your blender is not a high-speed version, but you still want to give this recipe a go, then don't you worry, there are a few things you can do:
- Increase the blending time: Your blender might be able to create a deliciously smooth dressing, but maybe needs a little more time. Simply add more minutes to your blending time as needed. But stay close-by and give your blender a little break, if it gets to hot.
- Add a little more liquid: Some blenders can create delicious & smooth dressings, but just need a little extra help. Add a little more water to your blender, if it's struggling to blend the soft nuts.
- Strain the dressing: To avoid any big nut chunks in your final salad dressing, you can simply run it through a strainer before serving!
Drizzle the dressing over your Vegan Caesar Salad and serve alongside a slice of freshly baked Vegan Rosemary Focaccia!

Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 30 g raw cashews
- 120 ml water
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp crushed nori optional
Instructions
- Soak the cashews for a minimum of 4-6 hrs. For the quick route, simply soak them in boiling hot water for 20 minutes or boil them on your stove for 10 minutes or until softened.
- Simply combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend on high-speed for a few minutes or until completely smooth and creamy.
Notes
- I love adding a little more flavour to the dressing by adding some nori sheets to the mix (or also seaweed sprinkles!). They help give a delicious flavour, but are totally optional as the dressing tasted fantastic without them as well! So feel free to skip this ingredient.
