This vegan Caesar salad is a healthier twist on the classic version, with a creamy and tangy dressing that’s made with soaked cashews instead of eggs and anchovies. To make the dressing, simply blend together soaked cashews, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, toss the dressing with chopped romaine lettuce and croutons for a satisfying and delicious salad. This vegan version of Caesar salad is just as flavorful as the original and is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
