Ingredients

Caesar Dressing

½ cup raw cashews
¼ cup water
2 TB olive oil
1 TB lemon juice
½ TB Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon onion powder
2 cloves garlic peeled
½ TB vegan Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon capers
½ teaspoon salt

Bread crumbs

4 pieces of bread toasted
2 TB oil
½ teaspoon parsley dried
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon oregano dried
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper

Other Ingredients

1-2 heads romaine lettuce chopped up
1 bag vegan chicken strips cooked and chopped
1 bag tortillas of your choice
¼-1/2 cup Cashew Parmesan cheese recipe link below

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f
Start by making your dressing. Throw everything into a high-speed blender. I use a Blendtec Twister jar for this. Put it in a jar and set it aside when it's all combined.
Clean out your twister jar and make your cashew parmesan- ¾ cup raw cashews, two tablespoons nutritional yeast,½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
Instructions; mix all ingredients into a food processor or small blender (like a twister Blendtec) and process until it's a little finer than cornmeal.
Make your bread crumbs by toasting your four pieces of toast until crispy. Then crumble the pieces of toast on a baking sheet. Mix the crumbs with the oil and seasoning and bake in a preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
You can make a big salad by mixing your lettuce, vegan chicken strips, Caesar dressing, ¼-1/2 cup cashew Parmesan, and bread crumbs. Then fill your Tortilla with the salad mixture and enjoy. Alternatively, you can make them up individually. I like to take a small bowl. Mix each portion and then add it in a wrap; that way, you can eat them as leftovers.

Notes

Storing- Leftovers should be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for 3 days. The salad will get weepy if the creamy dressing is left on the fresh lettuce. You can reheat the vegan chicken or serve it cold in the wrap.

Freezing- You can freeze the easy Caesar salad dressing in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the vegan chicken and the croutons, but I would get fresh lettuce.

Gluten-Free- Yes, you can use a gluten-free tortilla and either use gluten-free bread crumbs or the crispy chickpeas croutons. You will also need to use a vegan chicken nugget that is gluten-free.

Expert Tips and Tricks

This tastes best eaten as a cold wrap.

Don't mix the whole salad up if you're planning on leftovers. It's best to keep everything separate.

Don't skip out on the croutons. They may sound weird in a wrap, but they are SO good. Just be sure not to make them too big you want them small.

If you need this nut-free, use sunflower seeds instead of the cashews.
