Plant Protein Caesar Dressing Recipe

One of my childhood favorites was a crisp Caesar Salad and probably a side of fries if I am being completely honest here. In fact, pouring a creamy Caesar dressing all over my lettuce was pretty much the only way anyone could convince me to eat a salad. Ironic, right? If you have anyone at home who you have to coerce into eating their greens, or you yourself need to make it a bit more interesting while also keeping it anti-inflammatory and protein packed - try my crowd pleasing Plant Protein Caesar Dressing below.

Ingredients

• 2 - 3 peeled garlic cloves - depending on how garlicky you like your food.
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 pinches of Celtic sea salt
• 1/4 cup of coconut aminos
• 1/4 cup of cold pressed olive oil (optional) - leave out if you are keeping your diet “low oil"
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1 handful of dulse or seaweed (dulse preferred)
• 4-5 tablespoons of hemp seeds/hearts
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/4 cup filtered water

If you are avoiding oils, you can leave out the oil and add an extra tablespoon of the hemp seeds and nutritional yeast OR substitute it for 2 tbsp of tahini. Always way to make these recipes work for your body!

Directions

Put all ingredients into a food processor or Vitamix. Blend until creamy smooth!

Yields enough for 4-5 salads (lasts about 2 days in the refrigerator).
