  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Tamari Or Soy Sauce
  • ½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Sea Salt

Preparation

For the croutons:
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut tofu into ½-inch cubes, pat dry with a few paper towels (being careful not to smash them). Add tofu into a medium bowl. Add oil, garlic, tamari, panko breadcrumbs, sea salt and pepper, and stir to coat.

Place tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400ºF for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally until tofu is brown and firm.

For the Caesar dressing:
Add all dressing ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend until creamy.

For the salad:
Into a large bowl, add romaine lettuce. Drizzle with dressing, adding ½ cup at a time then stirring until desired taste is reached. Top with croutons and serve immediately.

Note: If you are not planning to serve immediately, keep dressing separate until ready to serve.
