Caesar Salad

There are a few good approaches to a vegan caesar. Generally garlic and capers are the essential flavors.

Dressings

Tahini-base dressing

  • 1/4 cup drippy tahini (we use Soom tahini)
  • Juice from ½ large lemon (about 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon very finely diced capers
  • 2 teaspoons caper brine (from the jar of capers)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (we love a grainy dijon!)
  • 1-3 tablespoons warm water, to thin out dressing a bit to your liking
  • Freshly ground salt and black pepper, to taste.
