The perfect vegan caesar salad.
Mountains of crisp crunchy lettuce smothered in an addictive dressing and topped with delicately seasoned crisp tofu.
This salad has quickly become a summer staple in our house, its packed full of flavour but so simple to make. Since we started making the dressing for this salad I have eaten so much lettuce, getting the daily greens in has become so easy!
Ofcourse this isn’t any normal caesar salad. Low in fat and high in protein, with a plant based creamy and tangy dressing. Quick to prepare it makes the perfect lunch for those with little time but big health goals. Packing in the equivalent of a whole head of lettuce, juicy tomatoes for vitamin C and lots of crips tofu to keep see to your rebuilding protein needs.
