How to Prepare Kale Caesar Salad With Oil-Free Croutons [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Oil-Free Croutons:

Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
Cut your tortillas into medium-sized pieces (the same doesn't matter, this is just so that it's easy to tear up later).
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes, then broil on high for another 3 minutes, watching that they don't burn.
They should be crispy and golden brown when they are ready.

For the Vegan Caesar Dressing:

Blend in a high speed blender until completely smooth.

For the Salad:

Tear kale off of the stems, and roughly chop. Use a tiny pinch of sea salt to massage the kale vigorously, until it starts to release some liquid and turns brighter green (about 5 minutes).

Assembly:

Add kale leaves to a bowl, top with the dressing, and tear up some croutons on top. Top with ground black pepper.
