so, i've put some hot sauce in the pasta bowl, and i'm almost satisfied with it just like that.

what is casear dressing?

wiki provides the following list of ingredients:

olive oil fortified soy milk
lemon juice fresh lime
crushed garlic, salt, Worcestershire sauce frank's red hot sauce
grated Parmesan cheese cheddar cheese (for retinol)
raw or coddled eggs yogurt

that leaves:
Dijon mustard yellow mustard
black pepper ground pepper
anchovies eww. 

my old dressing had the following ingredients:

water, soybean oil (contains citric acid) soy milk
parmesan & romano cheeses cheddar cheese
white vinegar, salt, garlic red hot sauce
frozen egg yolk yogurt
lemon juice lime

that leaves
sugar, corn starch pasta water
mustard
anchovy paste

i guess one could sub mayo instead of yogurt, but that would be daft. you'll get far more vitamins from good yogurt. i just wish i had a more fortified choice.

so, here's my caesar recipe:

200 ml of highly fortified soy milk
1 chopped fresh lime (with pith)
60 g of chopped medium cheddar cheese
65-70 ml (2 tbsp) of astro biobest yogurt (amidst pleas to refortify)
+
1-2 tbsp of yellow mustard [experiment]
25-30 ml of frank's red hot sauce (original) [experiment]
some pasta water (1/4 cup?)
a dash of celery salt [experiment]
a healthy amount of black pepper [experiment]
anchovy paste for omega-3

and, here's my total bowl:

- red peppers (200 g) 
- carrots (110 g)  
- beets (82 g)  

- pasta (55 g, dry)

- nutritional yeast (1 heaping tsp)
- sunflower seeds (raw, hulled) (1 tbsp) <---for b5, mostly, but other things too
- hemp seeds (raw, hulled) (1 tbsp)

- cheddar cheese (60 g)
- pro-biotic yogurt (2 tbsp)   <------b5, mostly
- full fatted soy milk (200 ml)    <-----d, b12, b7, b16
- lime  (1, ~37 g)

- 1-2 tbsp of yellow mustard [experiment]
