Caledonia Organic Farm's Hemp Ceasar Salad Dressing & Salad

This recipe uses two great organic hemp products-hemp oil and hemp hearts.

A new twist on an old favourite-without the anchovies! Use organic ingredients where possible.

1 egg yolk

Juice of one lemon

½ cup hemp oil

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

½ cup Parmesan cheese grated

2 tblsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 large garlic cloves

1 tblsp Dijon mustard

2 tblsp hemp hearts

Salt and Tabasco sauce to taste

Place the egg yolk and lemon juice in a blender. At medium setting, slowly add the hemp and olive oil and blend until thick. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until completely mixed. Refrigerate.

Chop Romaine lettuce into chunks.

Make your own croutons using organic toast chunks drizzled in hemp oil and garlic. Toss in the Hemp Ceasar Dressing and a few tablespoons of hemp hearts. Refrigerate briefly and serve with fresh cut lemon for sprucing. As Ceasar would say-Carpe Diem!

Based on a recipe from the Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Book
