The new and improved not-so-classic Caesar Salad. Healthy and modernized. With caesar salads being such a popular favorite, why not remake a vegan friendly version?! Even before I went plant based, I was never a true fan of caesar salads, probably because of the anchovies in the high-fat dressing.. and knowing how there was little nutritional value from romaine and croutons.. but after eating (basically) this entire bowl of Vegan Kale Caesar Pasta Salad to myself for 2 meals straight, you can probably guess that I’m a new fan now!

Stays fresh in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
I enjoy your recipes, however I have a request for your website.
I am old-fashioned, and print out the recipes that I like and keep them in a binder. Most recipe sites have a \’print-version\’ link for their recipes that creates a new page that\’s recipe-friendly. All of the comments and photos are removed and all that\’s left is the list of ingredients and instructions. Very printer-friendly.
Your website, however, is not printer-friendly. This recipie, for example (kale ceasar pasta salad) is 35 pages when printed, and the actual recipe and instructions only take one page!
I\’d appreciate a printer-version link!
Thanks,
Mike
