Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing

I am reading and adapting recipes from a book called “Vegan YumYum” by Lauren Ulm.
This is one of the recipes with a few modifications. Extra tasty, you won’t miss regular Caesar dressing and it’s completely cholesterol free!  No cheese or anchovies! The nutritional yeast and miso make it taste as if there is Parmesan cheese in it.
This recipe makes about 1&1/2 cups.

1/4 cup slivered almonds (raw)
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp mellow white miso
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Worcester sauce
3 cloves garlic, crushed (or more if you like it really garlicky)
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 pinches salt
2 pinches ground pepper
About 1/2 block of silken tofu (6 oz)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, but I use it as it contains protein and is really good for you)
2 tbsp water or more oil , to thin out the dressing if necessary

Make the dressing by putting ALL the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
That’s it!!
