PREPARATION FOR VEGAN CAESAR SALAD

  1. Prepare the Lettuce: While the chickpeas roast, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  1. Make the Salad: Add the roasted chickpeas, croutons, and nutritional yeast to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
  1. Add the Dressing: Drizzle the vegan Caesar dressing over the salad. Toss everything gently to coat evenly.
  1. Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crispy texture of the salad.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

20 minutes (for roasting chickpeas)

TIPS FOR VEGAN CAESAR SALAD

  • To save time, roast a large batch of chickpeas in advance and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For extra crunch, toss the croutons with olive oil and toast them in the oven for a few minutes.
  • Use a good-quality vegan Caesar dressing for the best flavour, or make your own using cashews and nutritional yeast.

VARIATIONS

  • Add grilled tofu or tempeh for extra protein.
  • Use gluten-free croutons or substitute with roasted nuts or seeds for a gluten-free version.
  • Include avocado slices or cherry tomatoes for added texture and creaminess.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne to the chickpeas before roasting for a spicy kick.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover salad (without the dressing) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the dressing right before serving to keep the lettuce from becoming soggy.
  • Freezer: Freezing the salad is not recommended due to the high water content of the lettuce, which can cause it to wilt upon thawing.
