Cashew Caesar Salad Dressing

January 17, 2011 By Leanne Vogel July 22, 2015

I get strong urges for vegetables, usually once a day. When the craving comes I cannot think of anything else. In the winter I usually crave potatoes, squashes, roasted veg, but today I wanted a BIG salad, and I wanted it now! We keep olive oil and vinegar on hand for these moments, but I wanted something creamy, high in protein, loaded with fiber, and something that could be whipped up in under 2 minutes. Tall order? Heck no!

I found that the dressing thickened up a bit after it sat for awhile. While the initial amount of almond milk is perfect for your first salad, if you’re preparing this ahead of time you can add ¼ cup of extra almond milk.
