Cashew cream and Caesar-inspired dressing will make you eat more veggies. I know I do when I make it, and so do my kids. It’s creamy, dairy-free, oil-free, made with real ingredients, and so simple to make.
When I was healing my gut, I went dairy-free for some time, and making delicious, healthy homemade dressings and dips helped pave the way for me to not miss dairy—that, and avocados.
Cashews are what give this dressing its creamy texture without using dairy or oil. They provide plant-based protein, healthy fats, magnesium, copper, and other important minerals. Lemon adds brightness along with vitamin C, while apple cider vinegar gives the dressing that tangy flavor I love.
Garlic contains beneficial sulfur compounds and antioxidants and is one of my favorite ingredients for adding both flavor and nutrition to a recipe.
One of the easiest ways to eat more vegetables is to make them taste amazing. Having a delicious homemade dressing ready to go makes it so much easier. Toss it with your favorite greens, spread it on a sandwich, drizzle it over roasted vegetables or any protein, or use it as a dip for fresh veggies.
Enjoy the simple things.
