Crispy “Chicken” Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing

April 26, 2017 by ClientAdministrator

It’s been at least 5 years since the last time I had a Caesar salad and I’ve missed it so much. It has never really occurred to me that I could make my own vegan Caesar dressing. I had always assumed that it would just be one of those foods that I will never eat again, but today, I had a craving for it. I looked in my fridge and realized I had plenty of ingredients to make something very similar to real Caesar dressing, so I gave it a shot.

It took some time to get the dressing just right, but it was definitely worth it. This dressing is really creamy and very flavorful. I can’t say that it tastes exactly like traditional Caesar dressing, but I will say that this dressing is really delicious and it most definitely satisfied my craving for a hearty, zesty, crunchy salad. The dressing is really luscious and has an incredible tangy flavor. I’m glad I made a lot of it because everyone in my family had some with their salads for dinner and they loved it.

I had some pitas in the fridge, so we decided to eat our salads as wraps to make them a little heartier. It was great with the pita bread, but I’m sure it would also be good wrapped in a tortilla or in between two slices of crusty bread.
