Reuse Month Tutorial - Food Reuse with Tony Keogh, Caesar Salad

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

Whole grain bread is more nutritious.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds flavor.

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade dressing

Yogurt-based dressings are lighter and can be made at home.

In a large bowl, coat the capers with olive oil and spread them evenly over a parchment lined tray. Bake them in a preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes.

Rinse the lettuce in a bowl and set it aside in a colander with the chopped scallion whites.

Using either a stick blender or an inverted blender, make the dressing by pureeing the soy milk, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard, then slowly adding the oil until a mayonnaise forms. Add the other ingredients and pulse until blended.

To make the cheese, grind the toasted flaked almonds, yeast flakes, and optional miso or salt together.

Combine a little less than half the dressing with the mixed leaves and divide them between three plates, scatter with croutons and almond parmesan.
