A vegan salad that's so good you won't know what hit you! I love a good salad, but this salad is just too good to even put into words. It tops all of the other salads and puts them to shame. lol Massaged kale, roasted chickpeas, golden beets, red currants, avocado and a homemade caesar salad dressing. What?! Yup. Freaking amazing!
The homemade caesar dressing is creamy, tangy, a little zesty and it's amazing. I added a little cashew powder from PB2 for added richness and some lemon juice and capers for tang... you have to try this recipe. *drops mic*
Traditional caesar salad is not vegan - there's anchovies in the dressing. It gives the dressing that brine-y flavor! It also typically includes parmesan and eggs in the salad. So, not, it is not vegan.
This vegan kale caesar salad, however, is. The salad dressing is made of PB2 cashew powder for richness and creamy texture along with dijon mustard, capers, lemon juice, vegan sour cream, and garlic. I also used oat milk, however, you can use whatever alternative milk that you would like!
A few simple ingredients go a long way! See the list below:
It's all in the dressing! I don't know about you, but I love a good caesar dressing and a creamy balsamic dressing. The ingredients for this dressing bring this vegan kale caesar salad ALIVE! Garlic, dijon mustard, capers, the PB2 cashew powder - the list goes on. It all comes together to make so much happiness for your tastebuds.
Also, you don't have to worry about soaking the cashews for a long period of time because you can simply use the cashew powder so the caesar dressing comes together in like 5 minutes.
It's also so so easy to make. All you do is combine the ingredients for the caesar dressing in a bowl and whisk. You don't need a food processor, you don't need anything fancy. Just a bowl and a whisk and you're all set!

What is an option for people with a tree nut allergy?
I would use chickpeas instead and blend them until smooth.

Thank you so much!
