Since Caesar Salad dressing usually contains Parmesan cheese, egg and or anchovies, I was excited to find this vegan version to make. You have to make the seasoned croutons because there is nothing like bread in a salad to soak up all the flavorful dressing. I added chickpeas to our salad but I say add whatever makes you happy.
Creamy Caesar
Salad
(from VegWeb.com)
1/3 cup
Vegenaise
3 tablespoons
lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon
Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon
vegan Worcestershire sauce (I used about double)
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil (I used 1/4 cup, but use more if too thick_)
day
old bread, cubed, for homemade croutons
romaine
lettuce, torn into pieces
*vegan
parmesan cheese (optional, but I used in the dressing and it is much
better with it added)
herbs
to season croutons ( used garlic
powder, salt and pepper)
Chickpeas
Cherry
Tomatoes
Mix together Vegenaise, lemon, Dijon, Worcestershire, and
pepper.
Very slowly, whisk in olive oil to your desired consistency.
The more oil the thinner the dressing. Add parmesan – if using.
Croutons: I
used Ezekiel bread, cut into cubes and placed on a sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil, garlic powder, salt
and pepper. Broil until
crispy. You can also pan fry.
I added chickpeas and cherry tomatoes to round out the salad
but you can add any of your favorite toppings.
This looks super delicious!
