Ceasar Salad

Contrary to popular belief, vegans don't just eat salads -- esp not this vegan!! 🙋‍♀️😅

I like my meals warm and super filling so I'm not a big salad eater. But on hot days or random rare occasions that I do crave for salad, I usually go for a Ceasar Salad with a side of puppy eyes. 🐶

When people eat salad in an effort to be healthier, their downfall is usually the salad dressing as most contain processed oils and are high in cholesterol.

My oil-free 5-minute Ceasar Dressing recipe will not only help you achieve your health goals, it also tastes amazing!!!

I drizzled it over a plate of greens (kale, spinach, lettuce), then topped with some pumpkin seeds, air-fried chickpeas, and, of course, some steamed purple yam --- which I clearly had to share with my adorable dogs! 😋🐶😜
