Ingredients
Vegan Caesar Dressing
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Almond milk

Salad

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Chop the baguette into slices and then chop those slices in halves. Place them in a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil all over them.
This will provide nice and crunchy croutons. Bake them for 10-15 minutes, or until croutons are golden brown.

Chop tofu into small cubes. Cook them in a skillet with olive oil until golden on the sides. This will take about 12-15 minutes.

Add the nutrition yeast, vegan mayonnaise, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, garlic, vegan Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix all the ingredients of the dressing well with a whisk.
-
Cut up the head of romaine lettuce. Add to a large salad bowl.
-
Bring all the ingredients of the salad into a big salad bowl and garnish with vegan caesar dressing.
Top with the prepared tofu and croutons. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe Notes
The best lettuce types for this recipe are cos, romaine, or oak.
Bakery-made baguette is my favorite bread for this salad, but sandwich bread would work too. Follow the same steps to make the croutons.
If you can’t find vegan Worcestershire sauce, replace it with teriyaki sauce.
