Ingredients

8 servings

1/4 cup plain hummus
1 tsp spicy mustard
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 -3 Tbsp lemon juice, to taste
2 tsp capers ((finely minced/smashed))
3 tsp caper brining juice ((from a jar of capers))
4 -5 cloves garlic, minced ((you can start with less if you don't love a garlicky Caesar))
1 healthy pinch each sea salt + pepper ((more to taste))
1 -2 Tbsp olive oil ((optional // for added creaminess))
1 -2 tsp maple syrup ((optional))

Steps

To a small mixing bowl, add hummus, spicy mustard, lemon zest + juice, minced capers + brining juice, minced garlic, salt + pepper, and whisk thoroughly to combine. Olive oil is optional, but will add a bit more creaminess.
Add a little hot water to thin until pourable and whisk until creamy and smooth (see photo). Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt and pepper, lemon juice, or minced garlic if desired! Maple syrup will help offset how salty and briney this dressing is, if you find you need it (I did not).
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator up to 5-7 days.
This dressing is delicious on kale, romaine, and arugula. Top with a little vegan parmesan cheese for the ultimate Caesar salad experience! The dressing is also great on roasted vegetables, especially Brussels sprouts and potatoes, and our Hearty White Bean Caesar Salad Bowls.
