How to Prepare Caesar Salad [Vegan]

Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 360ºF.
Chuck the bread and chickpeas in a large bowl, pour over a good glug of olive oil, salt and pepper, and toss to give everything a good cover.
Put in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for around 10 minutes or until the bread is nicely toasted all over - check regularly to make sure you don't burn the croutons.
While the bread and chickpeas are in the oven, add all the ingredients for your sauce into a blender along with a generous amount of black pepper. Blend until it's completely smooth - give it a taste and add salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast or lemon to taste.
Once everything is ready, layer up the lettuce, avocado, croutons, chickpeas and vegan chicken. Top with the dressing (and give it a mix to coat everything if you want to) and that's it - vegan Caesar salad!
