Vegan Kale Caesar Salad – Sharon Palmer, The Plant Powered Dietitian

This super satisfying, flavorful Vegan Kale Caesar Salad is one of my all-time favorite salad recipes. Simple and rustic, but saturated with flavors and texture, this healthy caesar salad recipe works well with everything, from veggie-burgers and taco night to a more elegant menu with stuffed acorn squash or baked lasagna. Rugged kale stands up nicely to the delicious, plant-based creamy Vegan Caesar dressing, which gets a sea taste compliments of capers and seaweed. The home-baked croutons are flavored with garlic and nutritional yeast. The elements of this kale caesar salad recipe all come together into a delicious, healthy salad which will soon be your go to favorite!

Is Caesar Salad Healthy?

Typically, this salad includes romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese, and a dressing made with anchovies, parmesan, eggs, and olive oil. The addition of eggs and cheese can increase the saturated fat in the recipe. However, this recipe omits the sources rich in saturated fat, and pushes up the nutrients compliments of kale. Caesar salad nutrition improves with the addition of nutritious ingredients, like kale, whole grain bread in the croutons, and heart-healthy fats, such as cashews in the vegan parmesan cheese. Caesar salad calories are lightened up by reducing heavy dressings and cheeses in lieu of a lighter touch. Check out the nutritional information for this light and healthy caesar salad below.
