Looking for a healthy, light, yet refreshing meal? Look no further! This Caesar salad is light, filling and delicious! The best part, this Caesar dressing includes no anchovies! I love an excellent Caesar salad, but could not find a good bottled dressing in the grocery store. So I tried to make my own. After a couple of trials, this was my family’s favorite!
Need a healthy side dish with this salad? Highly recommend pairing this salad with our roasted garlic parmesan sweet potatoes. (See the recipe on our webpage for a quick and easy side dish!) Perfect healthy vegetable protein packed (with no meat) meal!

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
-
Rinse and dry your chickpeas.
-
In a medium sized bowl, toss your chickpeas with your olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and garlic salt.
-
Grab a medium sized baking sheet and put parchment paper on top. Put the chickpeas on the parchment paper, evenly.
-
Place in the oven for 45-50 minutes
-
While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare your dressing.
-
In a medium sized bowl, add your Greek yogurt, lemon juice, tahini and olive oil. Whisk together.
-
Next add the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese to the yogurt mixture. Whisk until creamy. Add water if you need to thin it out.
-
Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or until ready to use. (you can make the dressing earlier if you prefer!)
-
Next, prepare your salad. Take your kale and drizzle a little olive oil over it, massage it in. Next add your romaine lettuce.
-
Dice your avocado. Add to salad mixture. Put the salad to the side.
-
Once you removed the chickpeas from the oven, cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled, add half of the chickpeas, chopped avocado, and dressing to the salad. I recommend you add the dressing slowly at a time, it will cover the lettuce fast.
-
Take a knife and fork, and chop your salad. This will help mix your salad well.
-
When you are ready to plate, sprinkle with extra chickpeas, freshly grated parmesan cheese, and your crushed croutons (optional) and drizzle extra dressing if need be.
-
Simply enjoy!
