Let me show you how it’s done! Start this 30-minute recipe with the dressing: a simple blend of raw cashews (soaking optional, but not necessary!) mustard, garlic, lemon juice, capers, salt, pepper, a little miso paste, maple syrup, and olive oil. While we love our 5-Minute Caesar Dressing made with hummus, this creamier version wins on flavor and texture by a landslide. If serving with crispy baked chickpeas, prep your kale as the chickpeas bake by massaging it with a little olive oil and lemon juice. Why massage kale? It softens the sometimes tough texture, removes a little bitterness, and primes the greens for the dressing. In other words, less chewing, better flavor, more enjoyable salad. All that’s left to do is add your Caesar dressing and crispy chickpeas! We hope you LOVE this salad!
