Avocado Caesar Salad

I went out to a restaurant this weekend and there was an Avocado Caesar Salad on the menu. But, the waiter was not sure if there were any anchovies involved in the dressing. So, inspired by that moment, I had to wake up the very next day and make myself a Vegetarian Avocado Caesar Salad.

Fun fact: I am not vegetarian. However, I try to eat as plant based as possible. Vegetables are usually the focus of my meals because not only are they absolutely beautiful, they make me feel good. Vegetables are also easier on my wallet, and better for the enviorment than most animal based meals.

Anyway.. onto the dressing!
