Caesar Salad Dressing
I’ve noticed that most other AIP compliant recipes use coconut milk as their base, which in my opinion is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever made. Since this recipe uses mayonnaise as the base it’s very much similar to traditional Caesar salad dressing
This recipe fits in the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) Protocol under reintroduction stage 1 or 2 depending on the mayonnaise used
One thing you can do to level up this salad dressing is to actually use fermented mayonnaise, recipe can be found HERE
By using a fermented mayo the shelf life can be extended to a few months.
Using non fermented mayo the shelf life will be a week
Both versions are delicious
Equipment:
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups & spoons
Whisk
Storage container
Ingredients:
1 cup Mayonnaise
4 TBSP Lemon Juice
2-4 clove Garlic, minced
1.5 TBSP Anchovy Paste OR 2.5 tsp Fish Sauce, see notes
2 TBSP Nutritional Yeast
½ tsp Salt
2-4 TBSP Oil, optional to thin the dressing
Instructions:
Place your mayonnaise in a mixing bowl
Add the lemon juice, garlic (see notes), anchovy paste, nutritional yeast & salt mixing well to combine
Determine if you need to thin your dressing or not. If you do add some oil 1 TBSP at a time mixing between each addition until it reaches your desired consitency
Place in your preferred storage container, I like to use a mason jar
If you have used the fermented mayo allow the container to sit on the cupboard for a few hours before placing it in the fridge
If you have used non fermented mayo place the container directly in the fridge
Shelf life:
If you used fermented mayo: a few months in the fridge
If you used regular mayo: a few weeks in the fridge
Notes:
The amount of anchovy paste is optional, if you don’t know how much you want to use start small & add more as desired
To lessen the bite of the garlic you could soak the minced garlic in the lemon juice for 10-20 minutes before adding it to the rest of the ingredients
