-Vegan Not Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps-

Sharing is caring!

We have been living on these Vegan Not Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps! They are seriously delicious. I could probably serve these three nights a week and not even get a complaint. They are great for the summer because they taste light, but still filling.

I was unsure how my kids would take to them. Well, I already knew the 5 year would be a hard no. He won’t even give it an honorable mention to try it. But my 8-year-old mobs on these. He ate one for dinner then asked for one for a bedtime snack, then again for a after-school snack. I was shocked how much he enjoyed them.

They are easy to make. This uses a homemade dressing, but it whips up in a jiffy. I wish I could say the actual salad dressing I use for this is my own recipe, but it’s not. The dressing is altered slightly from Oh She Glows, which is a fabulous vegan blog.

I also use bread crumbs for croutons in this. They are easy to make and seasoned just like croutons. In writing this it made it sounds like I am unaware that bread is croutons, but I am aware =) Just roll with it

How do you make these Vegan Caesar Salad Wraps?

I start with the salad dressing. It’s made with cashews to make it nice a creamy. You need a high-speed blender. If you do not have one you can soak your cashews ahead of time to get them soft enough for a regular blender.

Throw your cashews, water, oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic, Worcestershire, capers, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. I usually set this in the fridge at this point and let the flavors come together a bit.

Next start with your bread. I like to give them a little toast in the toaster. Then crumble them up on a baking sheet. Take the oil and seasoning and mix it up with the crumbs. You’ll bake this for 8 minutes in a 400 degree preheated oven. Set aside.

I used cooked vegan Chicken strips for this. It tastes absolutely delicious. But if you aren’t into faux meat you could use chickpeas and season them.

I almost always have my favorite Cashew Parmesan made up an in the fridge. So it’s easy for me to add this extra bit of flavor to these wraps. If you don’t want to go the extra step of making it, it’s okay. It won’t change the flavor too much, but it is a little tastier with it.

We just use a standard flour tortilla, but you could make your own using this tasty tortilla here, but store bought works great as well.

There are two ways you could make these wraps. I personally like to make them up indidually. That way you get an even amount in each wrap. But if you were serving them to a crowd it would be better to just make up a salad in a big bowl and then fill your wrap with the salad. Whatever works for your family works for me.

Have you ever had a salad in a wrap? Let me know the comments!
