Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Are you a vegan and missing caesar salad? Most recipes for homemade caesar salad dressings are not vegan or vegetarian, as they often contain anchovies. Caesar dressings that you buy at the grocery are almost certainly not vegetarian and unlikely to be vegan (even they say they are vegetarian). Traditional caesar salad is made with coarsely chopped romaine lettuce, shaved or grated parmesan cheese, and seasoned croutonsoften anchovies are also tossed with the lettuce greens. You're likely to discover many of your guests never really liked the anchovies as an addition, nor too much strong anchovy flavor in the dressing. Curious about the anchovies? You may be wondering whether fish is vegetarian or vegan. The simple answer is no; fish are animals and therefore anchovies are not vegetarian or vegan. This easy caesar salad dressing recipe, however, packs in all the flavor without the fish. It is both vegetarian and vegan as no mayonnaise is needed, just lemon, garlic, dijon mustard, olive oil, and a vegetarian worcestershire sauce. Be sure to check the label for the worcestershire sauce since some brands are vegetarian and some contain fish and so are not vegan.
