Easy Flavorful Vegan Caesar Salad (wfpb, oil-free)

Vegan Caesar Salad is anything but complicated to prepare and the dressing is totally addictive. We prepare the vegan caesar dressing with tahini, garlic, lemon and nutritional yeast flakes. This salad dressing is creamy, oil-free, egg-free, without anchovies and wfpb.
With fresh romaine lettuce, crispy chickpeas and homemade vegan parmesan, this salad is perfect as a lunch, picnic, light dinner or as an appetizer.
