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.

  • Wash and dry romaine, then chop and place into a large bowl. Preferably one with a lid! Refrigerate until later.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients for the Caesar dressing. Pulse until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick for your liking, add a bit more water to thin out. I love the thick consistency! Set aside for later.
  • Drain tofu and press to remove as much excess water as possible. Chop the tofu into cubes about 1" square – or whatever size you prefer croutons to be! Place chopped tofu in a ziplock bag (or large bowl) and add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to medium. Add tofu to the skillet and allow the cubes to get a nice sear. Cook for 15-20 minutes total, flipping the tofu occasionally to brown evenly. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool.

  • Drain the tofu and gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu in half lengthwise so you have two one-inch thick pieces. Transfer the tofu to a plate lined with a paper towel, then place another paper towel over the pieces and place something heavy on top to help the tofu drain. I used a stack of magazines. Set aside for 15-30 minutes.
  • Chop romaine and kale, discarding stems and toss in a large bowl to combine. Spoon all of the dressing over the lettuce and use your hands to fully incorporate the dressing to cover the lettuce. Gently stir in cooled tofu. Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with pom seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
