Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce or substitute soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon capers finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon caper brining liquid
  • ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine the minced garlic, dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest and red wine vinegar in a bowl. Begin whisking these ingredients and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil, while continuing to whisk. Then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Slowly drizzle in the olive oil: When you're making salad dressing at home, the key to making a successful emulsion is to add the oil slowly into the mixture containing the vinegar and emulsifier. Add the oil too fast, and the oil and vinegar will want to stay separated. 
  • Make it a meal! Want to make a classic Caesar salad to go with your Vegan Caesar Dressing? Our recipe makes four servings. You'll need 20 ounces of romaine lettuce, ½ a cup of vegan Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of croutons.
