It's a healthy spin on a classic that everyone will love! Romaine lettuce drizzled with a zesty, vegan Caesar dressing gives effervescence to the crunch. Finished off with soy curls and croutons makes it a perfect summery meal.
– Begin by making the Caesar dressing. Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a blender and pulse till smooth. Store dressing in refrigerator until ready to use.
– Toss the cubed bread in olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown and crunchy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the soy curls in a small bowl and top with vegetable broth. Allow the soy curls to rehydrate for 10-15 minutes.
Drain the excess broth, and fry the curls in olive oil, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Add the nutritional yeast and spices to season.
Assemble the salad starting with a base of Romaine lettuce. Add vegan parmesan, homemade croutons, and soy curl chicken. Toss with Caesar salad dressing and serve!
-To save on time, consider using storebought vegan Caesar Salad Dressing.
-You can either use homemade or storebought vegan parmesan. I recommend Violife parmesan.
-You can use any plant-based chicken option you like. For a lighter salad, omit the vegan chicken altogether.
