@itslizmiu: SESAME KALE CAESAR SALAD with Crispy Oven-Roasted Chickpeas 🥬 I. AM. SO. PROUD. OF. THIS. LIP. SMACKING. DRESSING. It’s so rich, creamy, tangy aaand it’s easy. Like easy easy. I really love my regular degular caesar dressing but admittedly - it’s not great for you 😅 Played around with the dressing this week to make an infinitely more nourishing version AND tried to avoid hard-to-find ingredients. Usually I’d add a LOT of vegan parme$an and Worcestershire sauce and I also tried to avoid cashews as it seems a lot of people are allergic! (also expen$ive). SO this is what I came up with and it’s still just as delicious. I’m also a self-professed kale-hater but THIS had me inhaling kale like it’s oxygen (see my prep method for kale below). DRESSING 1/2 cup Hulled Tahini 1 cup Water 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard 2 tsp Capers 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (1.5 lemnons) 2.5 tsp Soy sauce 4 cloves Garlic 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast SALAD Kale Romaine/Cos Lettuce Heart Lemon Juice Olive Oil Capers AIR-FRIED TOFU Tofu Olive Oil Salt CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed Olive oil Salt Smoked Paprika Oregano CHICKPEA PREPARATION Preheat oven to 200ºC. Drain chickpeas and rinse. Pour chickpeas onto some tea towels and pat dry (this will help them to crisp up faster and dry properly). Place chickpeas into a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, a good pinch of salt and some paprika (you can add more if you like but I prefer to keep it simple). Pour chickpeas onto a lined baking tray and place into an oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 mins or so for even baking. KALE PREPARATION Destem your kale. Wash and spin kale then chop into small bite sized pieces and place into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon and a small drizzle of olive oil onto the kale and massage the kale for 2 minutes to get soften the leaves a little (this makes it so much more palatable but you can still store it prepped in the fridge like this for days!) #caesarsalad #plantbasedrecipes #vegancaesarsalad
