VEGAN CAESAR SALAD WITH CRISP CHICKPEAS



Vegan Caesar Salad With Crisp Chickpeas image

There are many ways to mimic the rich, creamy texture of emulsified, egg-based Caesar dressing: Tofu, vegan mayonnaise, aquafaba whipped with oil, the list goes on. Blended raw cashews prove themselves the best base in this version, which is fortified with garlic, mustard, miso paste and caper brine to achieve the tangy-salty-punchy balance found in the real deal. Crisp chickpeas and hand-torn croutons add a crunchiness that plays well with the velvety dressing.

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 small loaf crusty bread, such as sourdough, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and thoroughly dried
1 large bunch lacinato kale, stems removed and roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1 large head romaine lettuce, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
1 cup whole (unroasted) cashews
1 snack-size (2-by-3-inch) sheet roasted nori, crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
3 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons brine from a jar of capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white miso paste
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a medium baking sheet, toss the bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. On a second baking sheet, toss the chickpeas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Bake both until chickpeas and croutons are browned and crisp, stirring both halfway through, about 10 minutes for the croutons and 20 minutes for the chickpeas. Set aside.
  • While the chickpeas and croutons roast, prepare your dressing: To a high-speed blender, add all the dressing ingredients, plus 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 3/4 cup water; blend until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula every now and again. Set dressing aside. (You should have 1 1/2 cups).
  • In a large bowl, add the kale and the dressing. Using your hands, massage the kale until slightly softened. Add the lettuce, croutons and half the roasted chickpeas; toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with additional nutritional yeast. Top with remaining roasted chickpeas; grind black pepper over, and serve immediately.

VEGAN CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing image

Nutritional yeast is a godsend for folks who are vegan or those dairy-intolerant. I think this recipe gives traditional Caesar salad dressings a run for their money. Nutritional yeast is available in bulk in well-stocked grocery stores. I forgot the recipe source!?

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons almonds, blanched and ground
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the mustard, nutritional yeast, almonds, and garlic. Make a paste.
  • *Whisk in the water, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil and white pepper.
  • *I prefer to blend the ingredients together in a mini-blender or using a hand-held immersion blender for a creamier consistency.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

  • Place rinsed chickpeas between a clean dish cloth, and gently rub them to dry, removing any of the loose skins. Place chickpeas on a prepared baking sheet, drizzle with oil and toss to coat, sprinkle with garlic powder and salt. Arrange chickpeas in a single layer, and garlic cloves (from the dressing), and bake for 40 – 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Remove the garlic if they seem to be getting too baked (especially if they are on the smaller side). Once done, set aside.
  • Soak the cashew in hot water (not boiling) for 5 minutes, drain. In a high speed or personal blender, add the cashews, water, roasted garlic cloves, capers, worcestershire, dijon, lemon juice, salt & pepper, blend until creamy smooth. Makes about 1 cup.
  • Place the chopped romaine in a large mixing bowl, add as much or as little of the dressing as you like, you may have some leftover, and give a good toss. Top with chickpea croutons, avocado, and a sprinkle of Almond Parmesan.
