5-Star Review
"I've made this dressing so many times now..I just love it! And so does everyone who tries it! I just made it for Sunday lunch and tripled it so I have some left for us!..." - Andreina
Why you'll love Tahini Caesar Dressing:
- The creaminess- Tahini and canned coconut milk are the secrets to making this Caesar dressing creamy without any mayo or egg yolk. The combination is magical!
- No anchovies - I have nothing against anchovies. I actually love them, but not everyone does. Typically, Caesar dressing contains anchovies. They give the dressing a nice salty flavor. In this recipe, I used capers in place of the fish. The capers work just as well.
- Meal prep it - If you're sick of salads that suck, meal prep this dressing to make lunch more exciting.
Ingredient notes:
- tahini - Make sure the tahini is nice and drippy so it combines well.
- unsweetened light or full-fat canned coconut milk - Do not use coconut milk from the carton. It's not thick and creamy.
- extra virgin olive oil - Use good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Dijon mustard - Don't use another mustard in place of Dijon. It has the perfect tangy flavor.
Make it vegan:
Simply swap out the Parmesan cheese for vegan Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast and you have yourself a creamy and delicious vegan Caesar dressing!
How to serve Tahini Caesar Dressing?
I love simple Caesar salads!
- All you need is romaine or kale as the base.
- Add some homemade croutons on top.
- Then, pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
- Lastly, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lots of fresh cracked pepper.
If you want to add some protein to the salad, check out my Easy Blackened Chicken Recipe or Air Fryer Panko Shrimp.
Storage instructions:
Store the dressing in an airtight container, in the fridge for about 5 days.

Another great frozen bananas recipe! This dressing was amazing! I’ve made it twice. Once with Parmesan and once with nutritional yeast. Both were delicious. I used it over a grilled Romain salad with a poached egg on top. YUM!
Yay! I love knowing you have made the recipe multiple times. Awesome that you used nutritional yeast as well! I am sure the dressing paired perfectly with grilled romaine and an egg. Thank you for being so supportive, Shelly! – Krista <3

I love this recipe! Have made it many times and it's now a must have in my kitchen. I sometimes substitute capers with chopped anchovies and it's delicious too. I now make it triple so it lasts! Love it!
