    VEGAN CAESAR DRESSING IN WHITE BOWL WITH WHOLEGRAIN MUSTARD AND COCONUT FLAKES ON THE SIDE

    The Origins of Caesar Salad 

    Caesar salad is said to have been created by restaurateur Caesar Cardini. The story goes that on a busy day at his restaurant, Cesar's kitchen supplies were so depleted that he made do with what he had available. The simple Salad was assembled at the table to give a bit more panache. 

    According to Caesar's daughter, the original version did not have anchovies; she attributes the slightly salty anchovy taste to the Worcestershire sauce. It was Caesar's brother Alex who added anchovies to his similar Aviators Salad that was later also named Caesar - confusing right ??‍♀️! 

    How we made it vegan

    The original recipe consists of a homemade mayo recipe, with garlic, lemon, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, (anchovies) and parmesan. 

    We have used coconut yoghurt to mimic the creaminess of the mayo, used capers for saltiness instead of the anchovies and parmesan and swapped the Dijon for some whole grain mustard for some added spiciness. The rest of the ingredients remain the same. 

    For an oil-free version of this dressing, you can replace the oil with tahini instead it will give you a slightly nuttier taste.
