Cashew Cream Caesar Salad
I love making a Liv version of all the classics, and today it’s a Caesar inspired salad using my garlic cashew cream.
Caesar salad actually has nothing to do with Julius Caesar but nevertheless, I wanted to create something that emulated that creamy garlic-y delicious salad, but also something that is healthy enough for a queen. With the perfect balance of protein and fat in this salad to keep you full.
Tip: If you have garlic infused olive oil, drizzle a little over the top for some extra garlic’y goodness.
Also, use cos lettuce in this recipe. Seriously if you need a lettuce for any recipe, don’t ever use iceberg, it kills me when people use iceberg lettuce. Cos is a much more flavourful and beautiful lettuce to choose.
