Avocado Caesar Dressing

Sharing is caring!

Not much can compare to the unique combination of mayo, Parmesan, and anchovies that is Caesar dressing. However, this Avocado Caesar Dressing tastes so similar that you can easily fool your friends into thinking they are eating the real thing. Seriously, this AIP salad dressing will knock your socks off!

I love this AIP salad dressing on my Grilled Romaine Salad but it also tastes amazing as a veggie dip. I recently shared it with my local AIP meetup group and everyone was pretty amazed at how much it tasted like the real thing. They were so surprised at how much the nutritional yeast actually tastes like cheese!

What is the healthiest dressing for a salad?

Anything homemade is going to be healthier than what you in the store. Store-bought dressing has a tendency to use unhealthy oils, chemicals, and sugar.

Do all Caesar dressings have anchovies?

Traditionally, Caesar dressing has anchovies. BUT, trust me. Just try them. They give a richness and depth to the dressing that you can’t get from any other ingredient plus they are nutrient dense and it’s something we should all be focusing on.

How long does homemade Caesar dressing last?

This dressing will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator if stored in a tightly sealed container.

How do I keep my avocado dressing from turning brown?

The apple cider vinegar is acidic enough to keep the dressing from turning a dark brown color. Keeping it tightly sealed in the fridge will also help. If you are going to make this the day before just give it a stir before servings and no one will be able to tell.

Tip for making the perfect Avocado Caesar Dressing.

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Will last about 3-4 days if stored properly.
• Make sure to use non-fortified nutritional yeast such as Sari Foods. Non-fortified nutritional yeast doesn’t contain any synthetic supplements.
