Vegan Walnut Caesar Dressing… So Creamy!October 28, 2015
| Serves: 4 people |
I've always loved Caesar for its creaminess and crunch! I like to add other raw veggies to mine... sliced cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes, onions, avocado etc. Don't just limit it to cos lettuce! This healthy dressing is a great vegan alternative to your typical Caesar dressing, with even more flavour. So healthy, so fresh, so nutritious. Enjoy on any salad you choose!
