Homemade Vegan Caesar

Vegan Caesar 
Serves 6


Ingredients :
Bread Crumbs

2 cups bread cubes   (about 2 slices)
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 ½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper


1 head romaine lettuce, washed and sliced or torn

1 Tbs. tofu
1 large clove garlic, peeled
1/2 sheet nori, toasted and crumbled
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
2 Tsp. balsamic vinegar
1 ½ tsp. miso
1 ½ tsp mustard
1 ½ tsp capers
1/2 tsp tamari
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. Combine the bread cubes, oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a large zip-lock bag. Seal, and shake the bag to coat the cubes. Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted, about 30 minutes for gluten-free bread, 20 minutes for other breads, shaking at least once during cooking to brown evenly. Cool and set aside.
 
Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

At serving time, combine cooled bread cubes and lettuce in a large bowl. Toss with dressing and serve.
