Ingredients
Vegan Ceasar Dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- 4 minced garlic cloves or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tsp capers
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup spring water
Salad Ingredients
- 1lb curly kale, washed and destemmed
- 1/4 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 avocado (optional)
- black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- To make the dressing blend all of the ingredients (except capers and minced garlic) in a small blender until smooth. If you are using capers and minced garlic I like to add it after the first blend and lightly blitz it so the dressing has a bit of texture. Taste and adjust any seasonings.
- Add your washed and de-stemmed kale into a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over top and massage it into the kale with your hands. This ia a little messy but it makes the kale deliciously soft. Once all the kale is covered in dressing transfer to 2 large salad bowls.
- Add your thinly sliced onion, tomato and cucumber. You can add any veggies you like to this! I love adding shredded carrots or beets. Sometimes I add tofu or roasted chickpeas for more protein.
- Top with hemp seeds and avocado if you wish. Adding nutritional yeast to the top of this salad is a game changer but I like to serve it on the side and sprinkle it on at the table to keep the salad looking nice.
