It's our pilot.

And today I'm highly cooking.

I'm making vegan Caesar salad.

Now, before you stop me, I'm pregnant.

And I love Caesar salad.

But because I'm pregnant, I'm not allowed eat raw eggs.

And I know I'm not the only human that's ever been in that boat.

So I came out with this alternative that's egg free that uses cashews and avocado to make Caesar dressing.

But it's still very reminiscent of a traditional Caesar salads.

I think you're gonna love it.

You better love it.

Dressing cashews.

The thing is, you need to soak.

The cash is so these have actually been soaking overnight.

You can see Well, you don't have anything to compare it to, but they are plumper than a dry cashew.

So you want to something for at least four hours up to overnight, and you can even I've even stopped him for, like, 24 hours in the fridge.

Just put him in there and forget about him.

Sometimes that happens, and it's okay, so we've got those here.

But first we're gonna put our liquids into the blender, which is mostly some lemon juice.

She went about 1/4 cup which seems like a lot, but this is gonna make enough dressing for, like, a couple of big salads.

And depending on how you see your lemons are that could be, uh, one lemon.

Or you might need an extra half of a woman.

Or if they're really like Baron, you might need to hole women's.

Let's just wing it here.

Let's just see what happens and the end and add a little bit of garlic and the garlic and the lemon is what's gonna kind of trick your taste buds into thinking that this is a traditional Caesar addressing, although obviously traditionally it does have raw eggs and anchovies?

Since I'm not vegan, if I were making this for myself, my husband on a regular dinner night, I would probably add an anchovy fillet just to make it taste even more, Um, like a Caesar salad.

But since I want to keep this vegan, since I know you're out there, we're gonna use some capers instead.

It's like a little berry that's pickled, and they have a nice briny flavor.

It's not going to, like, really trick anyone.

It's not gonna taste like fish, but it's a nice, salty even agree thing that has a similar similar flavor.

Thio, anchovy.

You know, I can put in our cashews, want to drain that liquid off.

And these air raw should specify that they're not roasted or salted anything.

There's raw cashews and then some avocado.

I'm just gonna use about 1/4 of this large avocado.

If you were using one of the smaller ones, you might wanna use a little bit more like 1/2 of one.

But basically, you want about equal parts avocado and cashew.

Slice it like that.

No, I should just be able to peel the skin off and get those cubes in the blender.

And finally, some salt.

And this is another spot place like the lemon juice where you might It might be a little bit more than you think it needs, but it needs it.

Trust me.

And some black pepper and you wanna have some black pepper on hand to for when the salads all done, it's all tossed together.

You could do it like they do tow olive garden and they come around with a big pepper grinder.

Okay, so now I'm gonna put this in my blender.

We're gonna blend it up until it's smooth and through the top of the blender as it's blending.

Gonna add maybe 24 tablespoons of water just until the dressing comes together to a nice, horrible, consistent.

Okay, so that looks good.

Okay, so I've got my lettuce here already.

Tour all the leaves off of the stem and washed it, and then just put it back in the bag to chill.

Give a little shake right onto your floor, and that's the secret to a real crispy salad is to wash everything.

Then put it back in the fridge, covered in a bowl or in a plastic bag kind of wet.

Leave all that washing water in the bottom of the bag there, so this was about half a head of romaine lettuce.

So how?

I mean this depends on how wet you like your salad.

But I would say Start with about three tablespoons of dressing for this amount of lettuce, and then you just want to toss it to Coach Gorgeous.

Yeah, that seems like just the perfect amount.

So each lettuce leaf.

Oops, sorry, that was loud.

Each lettuce leaf is nicely coated, but there's not a bunch of dressing sitting in the bottom that's gonna make it get all soggy.

I've got some crude tones here.

These air called Caesar salad.

Rutan's so they're not vegan cheetah liver.

But you confined protons that don't have cheese.

Tell me when remember guys.

And then you're like, when?

When there's a lot of pepper on your food.

Okay, so So if you like this recipe, I think anything that would go really, really nicely with it if you were making dinner for a vegan friend or lover or yourself is I've done a couple of different that you burger recipes coming.

Veggie burgers.

Um, they're both vegans are linked to Those are the Black King, while one and then a regular, more versatile sort of like any being You like veggie burger.

This is like you didn't tell anyone?

No, I just think this is a regular old Caesar salad, like laughing, buying their back in the corner like an asshole.

Just getting You're not like that.

Not like that.

You're a nice person on.
