THE BEST VEGAN CAESAR SALAD | Chickpeas, Croutons & Cashew Dressing

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought bread cubes

Toasted whole grain bread is healthier and can be made at home.

Slice the baguette or bread into small cubes. Toss them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake or toast until golden and crispy.

Blend soaked cashews with water until smooth. Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and capers. Season with salt and black pepper, then blend again until creamy.

Wash and tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Add chickpeas for protein and texture.

Pour the cashew dressing over the salad and toss gently.

Top with crunchy croutons for that classic Caesar finish.
