CREAMY RAW CASHEW CAESAR DRESSING
If you're a huge Caesar salad fan like I am, you may have had trouble finding a plant-based dressing that compared to the creamy, garlicky, dairy-based dressings everyone knows and loves. Over the past 2 years I have tweaked this to be just right. Went vegan and thought you'd never have a tasty Caesar dressing again? You will be pleasantly surprised! Oil-free, totally raw (except the capers), and packed with all the health benefits of cashews! Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Steps:
- If you have a high-powdered blender you can skip straight to step 2. If you have a regular blender, you may want to soften the cashews first to ensure they blend smoothly. To do this add the cashews to a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until the cashews are very tender. Drain and rinse with cold water before using.
- Add the cashews to your blender along with all the remaining ingredients and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. For a thicker dressing, use less water. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week. The dressing gets thicker as it cools, great for dipping! If needed you can always add more water to thin as desired.

CREAMY CASHEW SALAD DRESSING
I created this for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!
