⅓ cupwater
Instructions
Step 1
Soak the cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Step 3
Line a small baking tray with baking paper. Add the chickpeas, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Mix to combine. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until slightly cripsy.
Step 4
Chop the bread into your desired crouton size. Spread on a baking tray, and drizzle with the remaining ½ tsp of olive oil. Bake in the oven until golden (the timing will depend on the bread you are using).
Step 5
For the Caesar Dressing: In a small high-speed blender, add the cashews, capers, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the kale to a large mixing bowl. Pour about ¼ of the dressing, and using your hands, massage the kale to soften it.
Step 7
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, bread, hemp seeds, and dressing. Mix to combine and enjoy!
