Description

This is hands down the best Caesar Salad I’ve ever had. I first tried it when a non-cooking friend picked some up from our local health food store to bring to a MOPS retreat. It was so good that my friend Alison of Health Nut Nation shared the recipe on her blog. It’s a great way to get in some ultra healthy greens in a tasty way. If you’re not feeling sure about the greens though, at least try the dressing. Yum!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vegenaise (or Mayo)
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan Worcestershire
  • ½ cups Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic (I Prefer Fresh Pressed)
  • 1 Tablespoon Cooking Sherry
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Pepper
  • 1 bunch Swiss Chard, Stems Removed And Cut Into Ribbons
  • 1 bunch Kale, Stems Removed And Cut Into Ribbons
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese, Shredded (omit If Vegan)

Preparation

In a medium size bowl whisk together all ingredients except the greens (and cheese if using) to make the dressing.

Toss the greens and dressing together in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese if desired and serve!

Worcestershire sauce is not vegan but you can buy vegan Worcestershire sauce if you are inclined.
This recipe is enjoyed by everyone I’ve ever served it to. Even my junk food loving husband requests it frequently. Because this recipe makes so much I generally prepare the kale and chard in a huge bowl with a paper towel on top and then cover with plastic wrap or foil. Then, throughout the week I take out portions of the salad and add the dressing and parmesan cheese directly before serving. Croutons are great on this as well!

Hi

Just a quick note to let you know that Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies so is not vegan… Sorry!

We LOVED this recipe! I didn’t have Worcestershire sauce, so I used a little Braggs Aminos & about a TBSP of Horseradish. Even my non-vegan man loved it. I also added pears, avocado & some nuts & seeds to the salad. Awesome!

VERY tasty. The dressing is excellent and I love ways to feed my family healthy greens. This salad also holds up well and doesn’t wilt like others do since the kale and chard are so hardy. Two thumbs up!
