for a long time I've wanted a vege caesar salad. the last time I had one was aaages ago, when I was a little girl. something came over me a few weeks ago and I decided I'd have to make a vege version of it.

using the recipe for a caesar salad dressing from the BBC and adapted it slightly; I used a vegan mayonnaise and some nutritional yeast instead of parmesan and of course, left the anchovies out. I browned off some soy chicken pieces and mixed those in with some chopped romaine lettuce and the dressing and the result was a delicious vege-friendly caesar salad! I topped it with a bit more nutritional yeast and a squeeze of lemon - so yummy! next time I might make it with some vege bacon bits on top!
