Creamy Vegan Cashew Dressing (Caesar Alternative)

Cashew Dressing Title Image

This is an absolute favorite, it constantly wows friends and families at dinner parties, it turns any dish into a decadent-alkaline-keto feast and frankly – it takes under 30 seconds to make!

It’s a 3-ingredient dressing that can be used on practically anything

Creamy, warm (or cold), it’s a lot like a Caesar Dressing, but dairy-free, gluten-free, acid-free, sugar-free and really rather alkaline!

Ross’ 3-Ingredient Alkaline Cesar Dressing

Serves 4

cashew dressing in a jar

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw (organic) cashews
1 cup (250ml) yeast-free vegetable stock/bouillon
1-2 cloves garlic

Instructions:

(If you don’t have a high-speed blender (Vitamix, Blendtec, etc) the cashews need to be soaked in warm water for at least 30 minutes prior to making, otherwise, it might not blend too smooth…!)

1. Drain the cashews (if soaked)
2. Add to a blender with the garlic and stock
3. Blend until smooth!

……et voila!

That’s it, it’s that simple and it is awesome.

You can serve over veggies, on salads or any other dish.

It could be your backup, simple, easy way to get a big hit of greens: just wilt some spinach or kale and serve with this dressing – delicious!

Just like this:

kale and cashew dressing

Plus, fresh from the blender, unless you’ve cooled your stock the dressing is warm like a sauce and is so darn delicious!

Enjoy 🙂

PPS. cashew nuts, when raw and (preferably) organic are mildly alkaline-forming. Stored, treated, roasted and flavored nuts are acid-forming. Keep it fresh and natural baby!

    Love this. It is as lush as you say. Had to do sauce with tofu for a friend who has a mild nut allergy added a little miso and basil. What is your take on tofu?

    Where can I buy yeast-free bullion or yeast free

    powdered. stock?

  3. GOFFREDO ANTONIO RUBINO Reply

    According to several authors, cashew nuts are considered acidifying. In your recipe that makes it alkalizing, add yeast-free vegetable stock/bouillon ?

      Increase the number of cashews and decrease water/experiment until it’s the consistency you like.

    would chia seeds be good to thicken?

    • ross Reply

      Definitely doesn’t need thickening! It’s pretty thick, and if you want it thicker you can add a few more cashews. Chia would thicken too, for sure, but may change the texture quite a bit.

    Hi from France, Ross!
    Where can one buy yeast-free vegetable bouillon? Or do I have to make it myself?
    It’s organic but not yeast-free : (
    I’m going to try this recipe anyway, yeast and all.
    Merci beaucoup for everything!
    Kate
