Crisp, crunchy, and totally crave-worthy… this Vegan Caesar Salad is a must-make! Loaded with my homemade croutons, a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan, and a drizzle of my super creamy Vegan Caesar Dressing, this salad brings all the flavor without the dairy. Plus, the Romaine lettuce is packed with Vitamin K—super important for keeping those bones strong, especially for women over 50.Whip this up for lunch or dinner and thank me later!
Wash and pat dry Romaine lettuce. Slice lettuce into medium sized ribbons, place in a strainer and wash again. Next, place lettuce in a salad spinner to remove excess water and debris.
Place lettuce into your favorite large salad bowl - toss with Christine’s Vegan Caesar Dressing and fresh croutons. Top with vegan Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Cooking Tips
Use fresh Romaine. Crisp leaves make the salad light and refreshing — avoid wilted lettuce.
Don’t skip the lemon juice. It brightens the dressing and ties all the flavors together.
Try an air fryer for the croutons. Air-fry at 350°F for about 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway for an even crunch.
Make it a meal. Add grilled tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for protein.
