Description

Dairy Free Caesar Dressing – a light and delicious dairy free caesar dressing recipe that is also Paleo/Whole30!!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup extra light olive oil (it has to be extra light)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients into a tall jar with a wide mouth.
  2. Using an immersion blender and starting at the bottom, blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Do not start moving the blender until the bottom starts to emulsify and then start bringing the blender closer to the top, moving around until everything is emulsified, about 30-60 seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust any seasoning or salt, as desired.
  5. Put in refrigerator immediately as it will continue to thicken up as it cools.

Notes

  • Extra light olive oil: ensure you are using extra light olive oil.
  • To thick: you can thin it out by adding either a little more olive oil or even stir in a tablespoon of water. 
  • Not emulsifying: if it isn’t thickening (even after refrigeration) then try and add an additional egg and emulsify it again with the immersion blender.  
  • Storage: keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
