If you want to really take a Caesar salad to the next level, ROAST IT! This VEGAN Caesar is so simple and sooo insanely good! I used my dressing from TBF Eats 1 with some modifications and air fried some Coco Bakes sourdough bread for croutons.
INGREDIENTS:
For salad:
1 small head of romaine lettuce
Salt and pepper
Nutritional yeast of vegan cheese of choice
For dressing:
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp water
1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil with garlic
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp nutritional yeast (adjust according to your taste)
1 tsp capers (not necessary but give it an authentic taste!)
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400
Cut lettuce lengthwise and brush with oil of choice (just a tiny bit!! You don’t want it soggy) and bake until browning and crisp at edges, about 15 minutes
Blend dressing ingredients until creamy
Pour over lettuce, sprinkle with nutritional yeast or cheese, croutons, add protein if you’d like; plenty of options!
