Healthy Garlicky Caesar Salad

A healthy dairy-free Caesar salad? Really?

Yes! This salad is, in fact, healthy and delicious. Two can play at this game!

It’s digestion month here at The Pure Life and this is a recipe that I just couldn’t wait to share! Since many people deal with intolerances to dairy and eggs, I wanted to share a twist on a recipe that I personally loved growing up. My grandpa would make big bowls of homemade Caesar salad dressing with tons of garlic, freshly cracked pepper and anchovies. Unfortunately, over the years,  I chose to not eat it anymore, because of the raw egg and parmesan cheese in the dressing. 

This year, I was inspired by two of my favourite health bloggers, Joy from Joyous Health and Angela from Oh She Glows to whip up a healthy plant-based version of a Caesar salad. And oh man, I was not disappointed! 

This recipe is:

• packed with healthy fats to balance hormones, reduce inflammation in the body and promote healthy skin
• packed with immune-boosting fresh garlic and black pepper
• super versatile: I love using it on a classic bed of romaine, or switching it up with massaged kale and spinach or even in a veggie wrap or a rice bowl.
• so easy to make! You can whip it up in your blender in less than 5 minutes.
