Caesar Salad

Caesar Dressing:

• 1 c raw cashews (soak in boiling water for 15 minutes & drain if you don’t have a high speed blender)

• 1 c filtered water 

• 3 cloves of garlic

• 2 tbsp coconut aminos

• 3 tbsp dulse flakes

• Juice of 1.5 lemons

• 8 kalamata olives (I love the organic ones from Trader Joe’s)

• Handful of parsley, loosely chopped (1 cup)

• 1 tsp maple syrup

• Optional: 1 tbsp capers

• s+p to taste 

Place everything in high speed blender & blend until incorporated. Taste & adjust seasonings to preference.

Assembly:

• 1 head of romaine, chopped (about 6 cups)

• ½ c toasted salted pine nuts (buy raw & just toast up in a pan)

• Kalamata olives

• More dulse flakes

• Optional: cucumber & tomatoes

Place the romaine in a large bowl & pour on about 1 cup of the dressing. I like to cover the bowl & shake to mix. Then add the toppings as desired & toss. Plate & garnish with a bit more of the dulse, pine nuts, and chopped kalamatas.
