Ingredients You'll Need:

1/2 cup Simply Simple Vayonnaise Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Violife Parmesan Wedge or Anthony's Goods Nutritional Yeast Flakes
2 small garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp San Remo Organic Capers in brine
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp The Acorn Market Dijon Mustard
2 tsp Umami Crave the Fifth Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients and blend together with an immersion blender or upright blender.
Store in sealed container in fridge until ready to use.

Notes:

Homemade Croutons: Toss 3 cups cubed or torn French baguette or country loaf with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in a single layer at 375 ºF for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Will take less time for very stale bread and more time for very fresh bread so keep a close eye on it as it bakes.

Serve with romaine or baby kale, croutons, and shaved vegan parmesan for a classic caesar salad.
