This simple Caesar salad can easily be adjusted to suit vegans.

On-the-go? If you don’t have a blender simply mash all of the “wet” ingredients with the back of your fork working it into the romaine lettuce.

Serves: 1 Save

Ingredients (8)

  • 2-3 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas (2 hard boiled eggs or other protein choice if not vegan)
  • Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • garlic, optional
  • apple cider vinegar, optional

Directions

  1. Chop romaine lettuce and set aside in a serving bowl.
  2. For the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, hemp seeds and nutritional yeast. Optional ingredients to add to the mix are garlic and a dash of apple cider vinegar. Blend together for a thick and creamy dressing.
  3. Pour dressing over romaine lettuce. Combine and top with chickpeas. If you'd like to add another protein source instead of a vegetarian friendly protein, try grilled chicken.
