Description

A fresh and creamy Caesar Salad Dressing made with simple, natural, plant-based ingredients. This easy-to-make dressing is tangy, rich in umami flavors, and perfect for salads, grilled veggies, sandwiches, and wraps. It uses plant-based mayonnaise and Parmesan, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to create a vibrant, healthy, and versatile dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

Dressing Base

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (natural)

Fresh Flavors

  • 1 clove fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Umami and Depth

  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons grated plant-based Parmesan (plant-based)

Tang and Texture Adjustment

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tablespoons water or olive oil (to adjust consistency)

Finishing Touch

  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise (natural) and Dijon mustard (natural) until smooth and creamy. This base will provide the dressing with its essential texture and subtle tang.
  2. Add Fresh Flavors: Finely mince fresh garlic and whisk it into the mixture along with freshly squeezed lemon juice. These fresh ingredients give that classic, sharp Caesar brightness.
  3. Incorporate Umami and Depth: Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and grated plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), carefully blending until the dressing develops a rich, savory complexity.
  4. Adjust Tang and Texture: Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and season with fresh ground black pepper. Then, slowly mix in water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency, ensuring it coats your salad beautifully without being too heavy.
  5. Finish with a Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle in a small amount of natural gelling agent to provide the perfect silky texture, whisking thoroughly to integrate it smoothly without clumps.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
  • Whisk all ingredients thoroughly to prevent separation and maintain creamy consistency.
  • Add water or olive oil gradually to achieve desired thickness.
  • Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Let the dressing rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to meld the flavors.
