Raw Vegan Ceasar Dressing

I've tried many raw/vegan ceasar and ranch dressings and finally sought out to make my own. This is my favorite- it is a dead ringer for the garlicky ceasar dressing they use at New Seasons, without the milk products!


A half batch makes a little less than a half pint (small canning jar) which is perfect for a few salads. However, it will blend better if you do a full batch (which you may have to freeze the other half).


Use on romaine lettuce or other greens (or steamed veggies) and then sprinkle some extra coarse salt on top (recipe isn't too salty so you can add some crunchy coarse salt on last).
