Vegan Caesar Salad

Ingredients

For the Dressing


  • 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

  • 3/4 cup silken tofu

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 heaping tbsp capers (optional)

  • salt

For the Salad


  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped or any available lettuce

  • freshly cracked black pepper


Method

For the dressing

Blend the garlic, tofu, and oil in the food processor or blender until creamy. Adjust the salt and lemon juice to taste. Refrigerate the dressing.

For the salad

To assemble the salad, place in a large bowl 2 to 3 cups of lettuce/greens per individual serving (amount depending on whether it's a side or an entree). Ladle on 1/3 cup of the dressing (or more or less to taste), and use kitchen tongs to toss the greens and coat them with dressing. Serve on some toasted baguette. Sprinkle with a little freshly cracked pepper.
