Description
This creamy dairy free Caesar salad dressing is one of my all time favorite homemade salad dressings! It is rich, lemony, garlicky, insanely creamy, and full of punchy flavor. Perfect for a swoon worthy homemade Caesar salad. And it comes together in less than 5 minutes! Can be made with or without anchovies. Whole30, paleo, and low carb.
