Ingredients
Vegan Caesar Salad
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- ½ can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ½ loaf crusty bread torn into bite sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
Vegan Caesar Dressing
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked in water for at least 2 hours
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
Make dressing
- In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped capers, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Blend the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Place in an airtight container in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest of the salad ingredients.
Assemble salad
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut or tear the crusty bread into bite-size pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the Romaine lettuce with the chopped parsley, chives, red onion, chickpeas and the crusty bread pieces to the mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad.
Notes
- Mix greens or add more vegetables for more crunch. Mix romaine lettuce with kale, arugula, or even butter lettuce for a crunchier bite. You can also add tomatoes, cabbage, or other vegetables to the salad.
- Chill the delicious dressing for at least one hour before serving to achieve a thicker consistency and a creamier texture.
- Store separately. To keep vegan caesar salad fresh for longer, make sure to keep the ingredients separate in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
