½ cup (75 g) cashew nuts, see notes
⅝ cup (100 ml) water
3 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated → VEGAN Version: use 4 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon capers
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper, or more to taste

Add all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. → If the dressing is too thick for your liking, dilute it with a little more water.
Drizzle over a Caesar Salad or use it for a salad of your choice (delicious with pasta salad).

Enough for 4 Caesar Salads.
Keeps fresh for a week if stored in a mason jar in the refrigerator. The dressing likes to thicken a little in the refrigerator - you can dilute it with a little water before serving.
Serving Suggestion: Tastes delicious with Caesar salad, kale salad, any kind of lettuce, pasta salad or potato salad.
Cashew Nuts: No need to soak cashew nuts if you have a high speed blender. However, if your blender doesn't have too much power, I recommend soaking the cashew nuts in hot water for 10 minutes.
