Perfect (vegan) Caesar dressing

August 12, 2016 Jump to Recipe | Pin Recipe Print Recipe

Wow, this Caesar dressing is perfect

Last Updated June 28, 2023

This Caesar dressing needs an analogy.

You know how Olympic gymnasts start with a score based on the difficulty of their routine? The tougher the task, the higher the starting score?

And assuming they execute, they’ll score higher than the field?

Okay.

This Caesar is the Simone Biles of salad dressings.

A Caesar dressing that’s dairy-free and vegan, but tastes (performs) better than the rest.

That’s this perfect Caesar dressing. The greatest in the world.

And all it took was for someone to ask for it.

Can you make a vegan Caesar without avocado?

It was a simple request.

Can you figure out a vegan Caesar dressing? Something without avocado?

Yes. Challenge accepted.

Like any artist, we found inspiration and added our signature touch.

  • Whole lemon (instead of just juice).
  • Less ingredients.
  • Perfect batch size for a Vitamix.

This, my friends, is an instant classic.

A vegan Vitamix recipe that’s easy, healthy and quick.

Better than the real thing

Often vegan versions of recipes are nothing compared to “the real thing.” They’re only better than nothing.

This Caesar dressing is not one of those. It’s better than the real thing.

Perfect texture, consistency, and taste.

I can’t say enough about it. So, so good.

Go make this perfect (vegan) Caesar dressing today.

Useful tips for Perfect (vegan) Caesar dressing

We found these dairy-free, gluten-free croutons. Surprisingly good, especially when dipped in the dressing.

    This is better than any Caesar dressing I’ve ever had. I used avocado oil and followed the recipe exactly – it’s a keeper, definitely makes a salad comfort food. Thank you!

    Another winner! Just added a bit more ACV and some juice from the capers and WOW! Tastes even better the next day. Going to divide half and try it with horseradish for a sandwich spread.

    Tastes nothing like Caesar. Very bland. Tastes like cashew cream. Had to add more lemon (2+ lemons, juiced) more garlic, more pepper, more ACV, more capers. Even added two anchovy filets. Still not happy with it.

      Sounds like you like your dressing flavorful! I also add extra capers when I’m not feeding this to company or my children.

      Capital T is Tablespoon
      small t is for teaspoon
      An easy way to remember them is Capital T is larger therefore represents the larger of the two measurements and

    Here’s another wrench to throw into the substitution mix. We are plant based whole food, which means no oil, added salt or sugar (no sos). So can this be made without the oil? The salt is no problem to omit. I can almost taste it and want to make it.

      Hi Lu, thanks for this. Maybe consider using avocado instead of the oil, and let us know how it goes? 🙂

    Does it have to be grape seed oil? I have avacado, safflower, olive and canola. Think any of those would be a good substitute?

      Hi! Yes! Any flavorless oils work great 👍

    Sounds and looks great. I wonder if a little nutritional yeast would enhance the flavor even more.

    Sounds yummy! How long would you think this would keep in the fridge, in an airtight container?

      Sounds yummy? It IS yummy. 🙂

      Will last up to two weeks in the fridge. The darker the container, the better.
