Kale Ceasar Salad

Kale Ceasar Salad

Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 0 minutes Serves: 2
Derek and I had this salad at a local restaurant and it blew me away, so naturally I had to try and recreate it! The kale makes this salad super filling and the tahini dressing is packed with nutrients.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Let me know if you try this and how you liked it! If you need more salad dressing ideas check out my Lets Get Saucy book with over 55+ vegan and oil free sauce recipes!
