Vegan Caesar Salad with an Easy Caesar Dressing

Ingredients you need to make a Vegan Caesar Salad

Romaine lettuce: I prefer to cut the fresh romaine lettuce right when I make the salad, instead of buying pre-cut. Romaine lettuce is crisp and crunchy with a mild and slightly bitter taste. It is low in sodium and fiber, but is packed with minerals such as magnesium and potassium, and also with vitamins K and C.

For the crunch, make coconut “bacon”. Coconut is great to boost the immune system. It’s a good source for fiber, and fiber is great for weight loss and your digestive health. Coconut is also great for the skin, so it’s no wonder so many natural products for skin are made with coconut.

How do I make the Vegan Caesar Dressing

This is not your traditional caesar dressing! This vegan version still has the taste and creaminess that you would expect, but it’s made with gluten-, dairy-, and nut- free ingredients that you may actually already have on hand! It’s made without dijon mustard and the nutritional yeast that you may find in other vegan dressings. I hope you love this recipe!
You will need:

Water:To make the dressing loose and creamy.

Oil: Extra virgin olive oil works best.

Celery: Look for firm roots that are not soft and spongy when buying celery.

Lemon: Just the juice for a citrus kick.

Tamari: Which is basically soy sauce, but gluten-free.

Chickpea miso: This is made from garbanzo beans, it’s low in salt and can be found near the dairy aisle in most grocery stores.

Honey: To add a hint of sweetness.

Garlic: Added for flavor and great for health.

Dulse Flakes: If you are not familiar with dulse flakes, it’s a type of seaweed. They are harvested in the Atlantic and sun-dried, then crushed into flakes. They are great for thyroid health since they are packed with iodine.
