Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Vegan Mayo
  • 1 Tbsp Rice Milk (only substitution is Almond Milk, but Rice is better)
  • 1 Tbsp Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Parmesan (recipe below)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • ¼-½ tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak) (add more for an eggier taste)
  • ½-1 tsp Black Pepper (this is to taste)

  • ¾ cup Cashews
  • ¼ cup Hemp Hearts
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1½ Tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

Caesar Dressing

  • Add all ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until smooth and all ingredients are well blended. Chill for at least one hour before using for the best flavor. If you would like a thinner dressing, add rice milk to thin one TBSP at a time. If you would like to tone down the flavor, add additional mayo. If you would like an "eggier" flavor, add additional Black Salt.

Vegan Parmesan

  • Add all ingredients, except the lemon juice, to a small food processor or blender. Pulse the food processor until there are no noticeable chunks of cashews. The mixture should look granular, similar to parmesan. You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides loose so that the cashews are more evenly chopped. If you have the occasional chunk of cashew that is a little large, that's ok. You want to stop pulsing before the mixture turns sticky. If it looks sticky instead of dry, stop immediately!
  • Add lemon juice by sprinkling it over the top of the parmesan mixture. You can either pulse your food processor a few more times to mix in the lemon juice or mix the lemon juice into the mixture in a small bowl. Either way you will want to remove your parmesan from the food processor, scrape it into a container (that has a lid), and give it a good mix to ensure that the lemon juice is evenly distributed. You can use your parmesan right away, or save it for later. It should keep in a sealed container, in the refrigerator for at least a week.
