Hi Friends! Today I’m sharing this glorious Vegan Caesar Salad recipe with you! This recipe is crunchy and tangy, made with crisp romaine lettuce, crispy roasted chickpeas and the best vegan caesar dressing. It’s the perfect salad to serve this summer be it dinner with family, or a bbq!
Vegan or not, everyone can get on board with a killer caesar salad recipe and this vegan caesar salad does not disappoint! So, let me tell you exactly how to make this recipe.
The Ingredients:
- Romaine Lettuce: A classic lettuce for caesar salad keeping this recipe ultra traditional. I have recipe tested with other baby spinach, kale and even cabbage and it’s delicious!
- Chickpeas: Roasted in the oven until crispy. This is a great whole foods alternative to croutons because you still get the crunch, and a great vegan swap for chicken for a salad that sticks with you.
- Vegan Parmesan: I used store-bought for this recipe. It adds beautiful cheesy flavour. I recipe tested without the parm and it was still delish!
- 5-Minute Vegan Caesar Dressing: This recipe uses my 5-minute caesar dressing using tahini, dijon mustard and lemon juice. It’s so easy, tangy and perfect for this salad recipe!
