Caesar salad

Everybody who knows this salad knows that it consists of a creamy sauce with a smoky aroma and cheese. To conjure up this classic as a vegan variant does not seem so easy. BUT: Just try our version of the Caesar salad.

Cashew nuts or puree provide the creamy and the cheesy aroma is added by the yeast flakes. And even if you might not be a fan of capers, you’ll love them in this recipe!
