How to Prepare Roasted Chickpea Caesar Salad [Vegan, Grain-Free]

To Make the Dressing:

Add everything to a high speed blender and mix away. Add more spices if you desire. Set in the refrigerator while you make the rest of the salad.

To Make the Roasted Chickpeas:

Drain and rinse a cup of chickpeas and coat evenly in spices.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Spray a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper.
Spread the chickpeas evenly on the sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until crispy and golden.

To Make the Salad:

Chop up your onions, massage the kale, and chop the almonds.
Combine all the ingredients and add those roasted chickpeas from earlier along with a tablespoon or two of the caesar salad dressing.
Top with even more vegan parmesan and some fresh lemon juice to take your salad to the next level.
