Vegan Caesar salad – Comfort food part 3

We love Caesar salad. But is a vegan Caesar salad really as good without the crunchy bacon, garlic croutons and parmesan cheese? Yes, we actually dare to say so.

For what is really so good about Caesar Salad? In our opinion, it is a combination of the soft sticky salad leaves, the crunchy bacon and the crispy croutons. So today we will make a vegan Caesar salad with at least as creamy a dressing with nutritional yeast instead of anchovies. And then we will serve it with romaine lettuce, crispy fried shiitake mushrooms and carrots and oven-baked chickpeas. It will be at least as good!

We usually make our mayonnaise ourselves, it’s easy as pie, and the recipe is here. There is also a great recipe in our cookbook, you can find it here. But for those of you who do not have the strength, time or will, you have a good vegan mayonnaise in a jar that we can vouch for here.
