Calories 379cal
Ingredients
- 3 heads romaine lettuce, chopped (about 10 cups chopped romaine lettuce)
- 1 ½ cups roasted chickpeas (we love Biena ranch flavored roasted chickpeas!)*
- 1 batch vegan caesar dressing
- Optional: 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- First make your vegan caesar dressing and set aside.
- Next, you can choose to serve this on a platter or in a bowl. Platters are pretty for entertaining or serving guests and bowls are great for date nights, family dinner and meal prep.
- Toss the chopped romaine with the dressing until well coated, leaving a little dressing for drizzling on top when done. Sprinkle chickpeas generously on top, adding more if you’d like additional crunch. Drizzle with a little more dressing, then serve! Serves 4-6 depending on if you are serving as a main or a side. Feel free to add avocado to the salad as well!
Notes
To store: store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
We love using these ranch flavored roasted chickpeas for extra flavor and crunch!
Optional if not vegan:
- Add ¼ cup parm or sub a dairy free parm on top. We love this recipe for vegan parm!
- This salad would be delicious with the addition of halved cherry or grape tomatoes and sliced persian cucumbers, too. YUM.
- If you aren’t vegan, this salad is delicious served with grilled chopped buffalo, honey mustard or bbq chicken.
