Vegan Caesar Salad

Name: Vegan Caesar Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 2 large hearts romaine lettuce (about 8 cups, chopped); ½ cup Vegan Caesar Dressing; ½ cup Vegan Parmesan; 2 cups Homemade Focaccia Croutons; black pepper (coarse, freshly ground, to taste); lemon wedges (for serving)

The dressing has the salty punch Caesar needs, with arame and tamari quietly doing the work anchovies usually do. Cold romaine and focaccia croutons keep every forkful crisp.

Butter Club Notes

Caesar salad only works if the dressing has enough punch. You need garlic, salt, acid, richness, and something savory enough to replace the anchovy without making the whole thing taste like a compromise. That’s why the arame and tamari matter in the dressing. Once it hits cold romaine with vegan Parmesan and crunchy croutons, it still feels like a real Caesar salad, just cleaner and lighter.

How to Make Vegan Caesar Salad

Add the Dressing:

Toss the romaine with vegan Caesar dressing until lightly coated.

Add the Parmesan:

Fold in vegan Parmesan so it clings to the dressed lettuce.
