    An avocado version of the classic caesar dressing with all your favorite flavors and a few new additions.

    Avocado Balsamic Caesar Dressing from @memeinge is a new version of the classic caesar dressing with all your favorite flavors and a few new additions. This healthy Caesar salad dressing recipe is made without eggs but is still just as rich, creamy and delicious

    Caesar Salad is a salad that brings people together. Few people don't love a caesar salad, and I feel like it's always easy to find a caesar salad on almost any menu.

    And this dressing is a spin on your classic caesar salad dressing. It's made with avocado for maximum creaminess!

    That way you can enjoy a caesar salad at home with this bomb salad dressing.

    It's not exactly like your typical caesar salad dressing; it's different in the best way possible.

    Balsamic vinegar adds an extra punch plus a little bit of sweetness. Avocado adds richness and helps it emulsify in place of the egg.

    But all the important qualities still remain - tanginess, saltiness, and all the flavors, anchovies included.

    Ok, so before you leave, I need you to get on board with anchovies.

    Not only are they nutritious, but they also contribute that tell-tale saltiness and add depth of flavor to your savory dishes. You don't actually taste anchovies in the salad dressing, but you will notice something missing without them. Don't omit the anchovies. I promise you won't be sorry.

    This dressing takes minutes to make since you just throw everything into a food processor and you're good to go.

    More importantly, don't miss out on this Kale Caesar Salad for the best way to use this dressing! Eek, it's so good!

      I am so excited to try this recipe! I love Caesar Salad, but you're so right that the dressing ingredients are not the greatest nutritionally.

      Very good! I like dressings a little thinner, so added some OJ til it was consistency I wanted. I agree that the anchovies are essential to a good Caesar dressing. Chose this recipe bc it didnโ€™t require mayo, and the avocado sub is a great replacement.
