This Vegan Caesar Salad is delicious! The Caesar Salad dressing is made with raw cashews to make it creamy along with lemon juice, Dijon, garlic and capers.
INGREDIENTS
2 slices whole-grain bread, or gluten-free bread, 2 oz total*
½ garlic clove
Extra-virgin olive oil spray
3 heads romaine lettuce
2 radishes, sliced paper-thin
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
¼ cup microgreens, optional
Pinches of red pepper flakes, optional
For the Vegan Caesar Dressing
½ cup raw cashews
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons capers, drained
½ cup water
Freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Rub the bread slices with the cut side of the garlic clove and slice the bread into cubes.
Spritz the bread cubes with olive oil and bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
Make the dressing: In a high-speed blender, place the cashews, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, capers, water, and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend until creamy.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high.
Slice the romaine heads in half lengthwise, then drizzle with a bit of olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper.
Grill the romaine, cut-side down, until char marks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip the romaine and grill for 2 minutes more.
Assemble the salads with the grilled romaine and a drizzle of the dressing.
Top with the radishes, chives, capers, and croutons.
Sprinkle with the hemp seeds, microgreens, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Serve with the lemon wedges and the remaining dressing on the side.
