Ceasar Dressing

Next to blue cheese, Ceasar salad dressing is my all-time fave. Okay, maybe Ranch, too. See a trend? Creamy, delicious, fattening dressings. So, it became necessary to find healthy alternatives. I posted a recipe for Ranch previously on this blog, so now here is the Ceasar. :o)

1 pkg (12 oz) soft silken tofu
15 small green olives with pimientos
1 T. white wine vinegar
1 T. nutritional yeast
1 T. dijon mustard
3 T. water
1 sheet nori, crumbled
1 T. olive oil
1 T. lemon juice
1 t. Real Salt

Place all ingredients in a blender and process on medium speed until smooth, usually 1 to 2 minutes. The dressing is a little slimey-looking at first, but once you get it on the lettuce or vegetables it's as good as the "real" thing.

Makes 16, 2-T. servings. Cal: 20, Fat: 1, Carbs: 1, Protein: 1

Did you know? Ceasar dressing is typically made with anchovies to give it the salty flavor. The nori and green olives replace the flavor of anchovies. If you don't have/can't find/don't want to use nori, try substituting Bragg's Liquid Aminos or tamari to taste.
