  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Croutons:
  • 1 loaf of oil and sugar-free bread, cut into small cubes

  2. Add all of the ingredients for the chickpea croutons to a bowl and mix well. 
  3. Layer seasoned chickpeas on to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  4. Layer cubed bread cubes on a separate baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. At this point the bread croutons should be crunchy and can be removed from the oven to cool.
  6. Mix the chickpeas and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Caesar Salad Dressing:
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Vegan Parmesan:
  1. Add nuts and seeds to a food processor and process until very fine.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until combined.

Prepare salad by washing salad greens of choice and topping with croutons, vegan parmesan, and dressing. The ingredients store well in the fridge and can be prepared ahead of time, which will help the dressing thicken up.
