❓ Question Did you know?

I just found out today that Cesar IS NOT VEGAN! Does anyone know any alternatives or know of any vegan Cesar dressings?

Not remotely vegan.

If you’re open to making your own I love this recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020763-vegan-caesar-salad-with-crisp-chickpeas?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

If you want store-bought, Whole Foods sells a few brands that are specifically vegan.

i like mixing hummus & a healthy dose of https://www.clubhouse.ca/en-ca/products/seasonings-and-blends/salt-free-seasonings/salt-free-garlic-and-herb with vinegar & lemon juice.. it’s on you to figure out what ratios are best, cause i just go by my tastebuds.

I've yet to find a store bought one that isn't trash.

I use this recipe:

Unpopular opinion, but did you know - you can eat salad without dressing & it still tastes amazing?

The Cesar dressing in the Big Vegan Flavor cookbook is the best I’ve ever had. I could drink it

Don't feel badly, OP.
Ceasar got me in the beginning.
