Very Benevolent Caesar Salad
By Miyoko Schinner, McDougall Program cooking instructor
PREP - Almond meal - can make your own by grinding raw, blanched, or roasted almonds in a food processor until very finely ground.
--> If using the blender to grind almonds, this whole recipe can be prepared in the blender.
Combine the almond meal, garlic, mustard, and nutritional yeast to make a paste.
- 2 tablespoons almond meal
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard - AJ recommends Westbrae Stone Ground
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes, unfortified - AJ recommends Sari brand
Whisk (or blend) in the remaining dressing ingredients.
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (soy sauce works, too, but is higher sodium)
- ¼ cup water
