Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp Anchovy paste
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will soften the cashews, making them easier to blend and achieving a smoother dressing.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly with fresh water until the water runs clear.

Step 3

In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews and 1 cup of fresh water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Step 4

Add the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, anchovy paste, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to an airtight jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Shake or stir the dressing before serving. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 8

Enjoy this Whole30 Caesar Dressing over a green salad, as a dip for vegetables, or as a flavorful marinade for chicken.
