Spinach and Cashew Vegan Caesar Wrap
Our take on the classic Caesar salad has a slightly creamy, nutty flavor from cashews and nutritional yeast. We use tahini in place of the Parmesan cheese and olive oil mayonnaise of a traditional Caesar.
The Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico, in 1924 by an Italian immigrant named Caesar Cardini. Cardini's original recipe was a simple combination of romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Over the years, the Caesar salad has evolved into a variety of different versions, but our vegan version is a simple and delicious way to enjoy this classic dish.
