Vegan Kale Caesar Salad

Vegan kale Caesar salad, made with kale, chickpea croutons, oil-free vegan Caesar dressing and vegan Parmesan cheese. It’s gluten and oil-free!

Here you have the vegan kale Caesar salad recipe I told you about in my previous post! It’s so simple and easy to make, once you have the basic ingredients ready.

I usually have vegan Parmesan cheese at home to make all kinds of recipes. The cheese and the vegan Caesar dressing require less than 5 minutes each one. If you want to save some time, feel free to replace the chickpea croutons by some store-bought bread croutons or even use canned chickpeas instead, they won’t be crunchy, but your salad will be so delicious and nutritious as well.

Kale is a super popular veggie and I understand why. Leafy greens are crucial in a healthy diet, we should consume them every single day. Kale is a superfood with so many health benefits and packed with lots of nutrients, besides, it’s everywhere, so you can easily buy it at your local supermarket.

I usually eat it steamed with some tamari or soy sauce, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and tahini, but it’s a great choice to make salads, especially if you’re not going to eat it right away, because it won’t go soggy, despite others leafy greens.
