Equipment

  • Baking Tray
  • Mixing bowl
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

Caesar Salad

  • 3-4 Kale
  • 1-2 Iceberg lettuce
  • 6 Oyster mushrooms
  • Handful Sourdough croutons
  • 1 Tbsp. Capers
  • 1 Tbsp. Vegan parmesan flakes

Vegan Caesar Dressing

  • 5 Tbsp. Vegan mayo I used 'follow your heart' veganise
  • 1 Tsp Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegan parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice and a bit of zest
  • 1 Clove Garlic (small)
  • 2 Tsp Capers
  • Pinch Salt
  • ¼ Tsp Black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegan Worcestershire Sauce Optional

Instructions
 

Vegan Caesar Dressing

  • Blend all the dressing ingredients until smooth. If too thick you can add 2-3 tablespoons of water. Chill the dressing in the fridge and serve with the salad.

Caesar Salad

  • Preheat oven to 190 ° C.
  • In a baking pan place the oyster mushrooms. Drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, season with black pepper, sea salt, and mix the mushrooms well. (You can also add a teaspoon of nutritional yeast and half a teaspoon of garlic powder (it will turn out great!)
  • Bake the mushrooms for 15-20 minutes until juicy and golden at the edges.
  • Cut 1-2 slices of sourdough bread or whatever you have, into small cubes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and nutritional yeast and mix well. Place them on a baking pan and bake for about 20-30 minutes until they become crispy and golden.
  • Chop the 2 lettuces into medium chiffonade and place them into a mixing bowl. If you can't eat raw kale, you can soak it for 5 minutes in boiling water and then drain it under cold water to stop cooking. It will still be easier to consume after soaking.
  • Squeeze the capers out of the brine.
  • To serve, prepare a salad bowl, and add the lettuce mixture. Add croutons, roasted mushrooms, and capers. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of the caesar dressing or as many as you want and mix gently. Add vegan parmesan on top. Enjoy!

Notes

The salad alone without the Caesar dressing would be about 485 calories.
