Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As far as I'm concerned, a Caesar salad is one of the best salads going. Don't get me wrong, I do love salads that are heaped with a number of different veggies and topped with a simple vinaigrette. However, those many-ingredient salads are a lot of work and don't lend themselves to a quick weeknight dinner in the same way that a basic Caesar does. There's but one drawback to the classic Caesar and that is that the dressing contains raw eggs, a no-no for pregnant women, folks with suppressed immune systems and vegans. Happily, Divine Caroline recently posted a recipe for Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing with Meyer Lemon that sounds good enough to spoon straight from the mixing bowl (not that I would ever do something like that) as if it were soup.
If you can't find Meyer Lemons (although I'm still seeing them in my local market in the Philadelphia area), you can substitute regular lemon juice, sweetened with a bit of orange juice.

I quite like Slashfood, but I consistently find vegetarian gaffes like this on your site. Maybe it's time to have a vegetarian on the payroll?
Cheers.

Yes, the recipe does say vegan Worcestershire but there is no such thing. Lea & Perrins owns the Worcestershire sauce trademark which means they are the only ones who can use that name (I read about it here, at The Old Foodie which is another wonderful food blog: http://theoldfoodie.blogspot.com/2007/05/on-worcestershire-sauce_31.html). And, as it contains anchovies, it is clearly not vegan.
It's always the little things, isn't it?

The basic ingredients are silken tofu, oil, garlic, mustard, kalamata olives, salt, pepper. Parm/ramano is good too if you're going for just vegetarian. The tofu and oil makes a very creamy base.

Almost Vegetarian, I agree that sometimes Slashfood seems to overlook some things when calling ingredients or recipes vegan, however, you're way off the mark on this one. The recipe linked to calls specifically for vegan Worcestershire, which is in fact a real product, and a quick internet search would show you not only pre-made brands, but also recipes for homemade versions. Here's a link to the most commonly available brand, which its ingredients listed: http://www.edwardandsons.com/ingred/ingredients_the_wizards_organic.html
Whether or not these can legally be called "Worchesrshire Sauce" if it's vegan is another topic all together.
Also, many of my vegan friends are animal rights vegans, not health conscious vegans, and they wouldn't bat an eyelash at HFCS.

It's not vegan, but it is free of raw eggs. It's also very good.
