VEGAN Caesar Salad
by Aneta

Darn Good VEGAN Caesar Salad

This salad has now become my go-to for anyone who comes over! It is a perfect starter for a dinner party, but I also make it for my family as the main course. Yes, a large well-thought-through salad can make a great entre!

Ingredients
  

The Dressing

  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ½ cup of water
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • ½ lime or lemon
  • ½ tbs ACV great source of NATURAL probiotics
  • 1 tbs white miso paste great source of NATURAL probiotics
  • 1 tsp GF tamari fermented
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove you can use garlic powder but the idea behind this blog is to use the freshest food possible, however, if you will go with powder, you will need to use 1tsp
  • ¼ tsp salt I highly recommend going with sea salt or Himalayan pink salt, both rich in minerals

The Salad

  • 2 heads romaine lettuce chopped (I like larger chunks, they will make you chew your food better)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes optional
  • 2 tbs nutritional yeast this will serve as parmesan cheese substitute

Equipment

  • 1 Vitamix

Instructions
 

  1. To make the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until almost smooth. I like texture so I leave it bit chunkier (more like a classic Caesar), but you can blend it until smooth, which would take you not more than 1 minute in a high-speed blender. If you don’t have a high-speed blender you might need an extra minute of blending.
  2. To make the salad: Chop the lettuce in chunks. Move it to a large bowl and toss the lettuce with half of the dressing (Remember, you can always add more but you can’t take it away). Top it with a handful of halved cherry tomatoes, roasted chickpeas or croutons. Drizzle with a bit of leftover dressing and sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top. Voila! A satisfying, satiating, Caesar!
