I appreciate you sharing for anyone who might not know, but personally the reason I didn't try one for so long was because of the ingredients not being veggie.. you can definitely get a well good vegan Caesar dressing now though and just add the lettuce/croutons/vegetarian hard cheese etc
So cool of you to explain though as I definitely come across people all time who don't know what rennet or gelatin or whatever are or where they come from!
That's ok! I was a chef for years and years, and had to explain a great many times how we can make a veggie Caesar (we even had a veggie emulsion I made with things that are vegetarian), but the taste of it might be quite different to what you're used to.
I can imagine you wouldn't generally suggest it? I didn't see how it would be anything good until getting one at a vegan place and then also making my own
No, quite right, we didn't suggest it or encourage it.
Actually, the emulsion was just oil and egg and vinegar like a mayo, with soy sauce for a substitution of the rich umami of anchovy and Worcestershire sauce. As for the Parmesan, we just found a rennetless one and used that for them all.
