A delicious alternative to the typical caesar dressing, this creamy substitute is savory and perfect for any salad. I suggest using this dressing over a kale salad with additional veggies of your choice, and adding crushed cashews, crispy chickpeas or crushed up pita chips as "croutons" to the salad! —Through The Kitchen
