Nutritional yeast is a godsend for folks who are vegan or those dairy-intolerant. I think this recipe gives traditional Caesar salad dressings a run for their money. Nutritional yeast is available in bulk in well-stocked grocery stores. I forgot the recipe source!?

Yield 6 serving(s)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons almonds, blanched and ground
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the mustard, nutritional yeast, almonds, and garlic. Make a paste.
*Whisk in the water, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil and white pepper.
*I prefer to blend the ingredients together in a mini-blender or using a hand-held immersion blender for a creamier consistency.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Tips:

Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
If you don't have vegan Worcestershire sauce, you can make your own by simmering soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cloves in water.
To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
When you're ready to serve the dressing, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Serve the dressing over your favorite salad greens, such as romaine lettuce, kale, or arugula.
You can also use the dressing as a marinade for tofu or tempeh.
