Creamy salad dressings are kind of my jive. I love them so much that I make them at least a few times a week. Normally I don’t worry about following a recipe. I just throw cashews, hemp hearts, or pine nuts in a blender with some water and seasonings and trust that it will turn into creamy salad goodness.
This salad dressing is an exception to that. Something about Caesar dressing is so insanely good that I want to be sure I get it right when I make it. I always follow this recipe and I absolutely adore it. For me, this kind of amazing dressing is the difference between a salad as a side dish and a salad as a meal. I hope you love this dressing just as much as I do!
