Calories: 183kcal
Ingredients
Spiced Chickpeas
- 1-2 teaspoons oil - ex. grape seed or olive oil
- ⅓ cup chickpeas
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- pepper to taste
Vegan Parmesan
- ¼ cup cashews
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Caesar Salad
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- garlic croutons
- vegan caesar salad dressing
Instructions
- Spiced chickpeas: Add oil and chickpeas to a skillet. Mix in salt, garlic powder, parsley, and pepper. Heat on medium until warm and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Vegan Parmesan: Blend together cashews and nutritional yeast until it becomes the texture of traditional parmesan cheese. A spice grinder is perfect for this, but a regular blender or food processor will also work.
- In a bowl, toss the chickpeas, vegan parmesan, and romaine lettuce with the croutons and the amount of salad dressing you prefer. Add more vegan parmesan on top if you wish! This recipe makes 2 big salads or about 4 if served as a side salad.
