This quick and easy 5 Minute Vegan Caesar Dressing is a creamy, tangy, and dairy-free alternative perfect for salads, dips, or drizzling. Made from soaked cashews blended with lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and capers, this dressing delivers classic Caesar flavor without any animal products, making it ideal for plant-based diets.

Ingredients

Cashew Base

  • 1/2 cup Raw Cashews (soaked overnight or boiled for 10 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup Water plus 2 Tablespoons

Flavorings

  • 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Capers

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the soaked or boiled cashews, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and capers into a high-speed blender for optimal smoothness.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no cashew chunks remaining.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and blend again to reach your preferred consistency. For a thicker dip, keep the water quantity lower.
  4. Refrigerate: Transfer the dressing to a covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps the flavors meld and the dressing to thicken slightly.
  5. Serving and Storage: Use the dressing within 5-7 days for best freshness. Stir before each use as separation may occur.

Notes

  • Soaking cashews overnight softens them and yields a creamier dressing; boiling for 10 minutes is a quick alternative if you’re short on time.
  • Use a high-speed blender to ensure the dressing is ultra-smooth without gritty texture.
  • Vegan Worcestershire sauce typically contains no anchovies; verify the brand to ensure it aligns with vegan preferences.
  • Adjust lemon juice and capers to taste for more tang or saltiness if desired.
  • This dressing works great as a dip for veggies or a spread on sandwiches in addition to salad dressing.
