A great Caesar salad lives or dies by its dressing, and this one — built on raw cashews instead of egg yolks — is the real thing. Same punch, same creaminess, no compromises. The lemon, capers, Dijon, and garlic do exactly what they’re supposed to do; the cashews just happen to be a better canvas than dairy or anchovy paste. Toss with crisp romaine hearts and sourdough croutons toasted in olive oil, and you have a salad that holds its own at the dinner table, not just as a polite side dish. Make it in summer when you want something substantial that doesn’t require the oven — except for the croutons, which are worth ten minutes of heat. The dressing makes more than you’ll use in one sitting, which is a feature: it keeps for a week and goes on everything.
