Eccentric Caesar Salad

This eccentric vegan Caesar salad offers a vibrant twist on a classic chilled starter. By swapping traditional eggs and anchovies for a creamy, blended cashew base, this dish achieves a remarkably rich texture that perfectly coats the crisp romaine leaves. A subtle hint of curry powder adds warmth and depth, providing a unique flavour profile that sets this version apart from the standard restaurant offering.

Ideal as a light lunch or a sophisticated dinner party side, this plant-based recipe is packed with healthy fats from the ripe avocado and hemp seeds. The addition of briny capers provides a sharp, salty contrast to the velvet-smooth dressing. It is a nutritious, dairy-free alternative that remains deeply satisfying and quick to assemble for any occasion.
