aesar Salad.
The dressing for this caesar salad is different from the cashew caesar salad dressing that I normally make. This dressing is based on hemp seeds (or you can use flax seeds) vs. the cashews. A great way to increase your intake of protein, fiber, essential fatty acids, and important trace minerals, such as potassium, vitamin E, iron, zinc and magnesium. And did I tell you, it tastes great.

Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup hemp seed
- 1 tbsp capers
- 2 tsp mustard grain mustard
- 2 tsp worcestershire (vegan) (vegan)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3 romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 0.5 cup green onions chopped
Instructions
- I like to use hemp seed for this dressing but you can use flax seeds too. If using flax seeds, grind them with a coffee grinder before adding them to the food processor. I use my dedicated spice/"coffee" grinder for this purpose.
- Add all ingredients (besides the romaine, cherry tomatoes and green onions) into a food processor and mix well until you reach a smooth consistency. Add more water if needed.
- Wash the romaine lettuce, dry, and tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Put the romaine lettuce into a big mixing bowl.
- Add the dressing to the romaine and toss well to combine. Fold in the cherry tomatoes and green onion and serve.
