I was just craving Caesar Salad this week…I just had to have it! Caesar dressings are certainly not vegan because they contain dairy, eggs and anchovies…can’t touch that right now! So, I was able to come up with this nutrient-rich version that is just divine! I added beans in the dressing which is honestly my new favorite thing to do with most dressings, sauces, and almost all the experimenting I am doing in the kitchen right now includes beans. Why, you ask…well, don’t you know? Okay, I’ll tell you. =) Beans are allowed to be eaten in unlimited quantities if you are Eating for Optimum Health and want to be Plant Strong! Just buy the books, follow those links on the side over there, this information will change your life…it has changed mine. The benefits of eating beans are so numerous I can’t even list them all here. Beans are rich in fiber, protein and fill you up so you feel satisfied way longer. I always have more energy when I eat beans and I find when I blend them, I digest them easier, you know what I’m saying? You can even serve this to your non-vegan friends at a dinner party and they won’t complain…I promise. The blended cashew pieces look like parmesan in there too and add a nice nutty flavor to the dressing. I love it and you will too! Okay, so give it a try.
Divine Vegan Caesar Salad
Enjoy! YUM!
I've used butter beans, great northern and white beans to thicken dressings, too. This sound delish.
when you are not using oil in your dressing, putting beans in it cuts the vinegar taste and thickens it nicely. also adds flavor, protein and fiber, can't beat that right?
What is horseradish sauce? I only know of prepared horseradish which is very spicy and creamed horseradish which wouldn’t be vegan I suspect? Please clarify. Thanks.
Hi Diane,
Yes, I used prepared horseradish…not the creamy kind =)
