I was a huge Caesar salad girl before I went vegan, and have now tried so many versions of Caesar salad at various vegan restaurants, I decided it was time to finally make my own. This salad is creamy, nutritious, and has some good plant protein with the tempeh!

Ingredients:
1/3 block of Tempeh
1/4 cup BBQ sauce of choice
4 cups of kale (massage with lemon juice)
2 tbs pepitas
1 thin slice of red onion
8-10 cherry tomatoes (halved)
Dressing:
1/2 tbsp tahini
1/2 tbsp nooch (nutritional yeast)
1/4 tsp miso
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp + more for thinner consistency of warm water
Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 350.
Slice Tempeh long ways or dice into cubes. Pour BBQ sauce in a bowl and marinate your tempeh, then line on a sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. When the tempeh is finished baking and cooled a little, toss the pieces back in the remaining BBQ sauce.
While tempeh is baking, combine all ingredients for the dressing and whisk with a fork. If you want a thinner consistency, add a little more warm water.
Massage kale with lemon juice - this makes it easier to digest and makes it taste better!
Toss kale in dressing and then top with the tomatoes, onion, tempeh, pepitas, and a couple red pepper flakes if you like things spicy!
