Nutty Caesar Dressing

Plant based nutty caesar dressing using a combination of cashew, hemp and pumpkin seeds! This recipe gets its delicious flavor from dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, garlic and capers. Soak the nuts for at least 1 hour ahead of time for the creamiest result. This salad dressing has become a staple in my house!
