Kale Caesar Salad

This salad has been on repeat for me for 6+ years- I truly cannot get sick of it! This kale caesar is vegan, packed with healthy fats and is super filling. The recipe makes a ton of dressing- you can keep it in your fridge for up to a week. Don't skip the toppings, they add texture and make the salad super satisfying.

INGREDIENTS

Dressing
1 batch garlic cashew sauce
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp capers, chopped
3 tbsp caper juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
sea salt & pepper, to taste

Salad
1 bunch kale, chopped
roasted chickpeas ( I like The Good Bean original salted) 
vegan parmesan
avocado
optional proteins: crispy smoked tofu, cajun chicken, lemony salmon

INSTRUCTIONS

In a blender, combine garlic cashew dressing with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Blend until smooth. Add water in small amount if the dressing is too thick. 

Massage a small amount of dressing into the kale. Add dressing until kale is coated to your liking. Top with roasted chickpeas, vegan parmesan, sliced avocado and optionally, baked smoked tofu.
