Vegetarian Caesar Salad (No Anchovies!)
Using my food scientist training, I've created a vegetarian Caesar salad that tastes just like the original without any anchovies! It's ready in just 15 minutes and uses common grocery ingredients.

Notes
- Storage: Like most salads, this one is best the day of. To store it, keep the dressing and croutons seperate. Store everything in the fridge in air tight containers for up to 4 days and then when ready to eat, assemble.
- To veganize this recipe, use a vegan mayonnaise and parmesan. Otherwise, all the other ingredients are already vegan - easy!
