Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing

To make a vegan Caesar dressing, we have to look at the individual ingredients, asking what flavor or texture is it bringing. The next step is finding ingredients that reproduce the same flavor and texture.
Caesar Salad has been a go-to salad for many of us. Over the last eight years, I have been working on my Caesar dressing. It has continued to develop, and grow in flavor and texture to the point that I am the happiest I have been with it. It is hitting all of the marks. Rich and creamy in texture, boldly garlic forward and lemon flavor with extra virgin olive oil notes add to the briny kelp.
