These Chickpea Caesar Salad Wraps are a great vegan lunch when you are on the go. Filled with crispy chickpeas, romaine, avocado & the best vegan caesar.
We are kicking off back to school/work season with this super easy (and tasty) vegan caesar wrap! It is filling, quick and can be made ahead of time. Hello, easy mornings! 👋 The only cooking required is a quick sauté of the chickpeas. The rest can be done in a few short minutes.
How to make the chickpeas
All you need to do for the chickpeas is grab a can, drain, rinse and add the seasonings - garlic salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley & smoked paprika. Give everything a good toss, then cook them on the stove in a little bit of oil for a few minutes. Once they are slightly crispy set them aside.
Let's talk about the Vegan Caesar Dressing!
I am seriously OBSESSED with this dressing. I used it for my Tempeh Caesar Salad Pitas and it is now my go-to! You will get that tangy caesar taste by using capers. Even if you think you don't like them, you won't even know they're in there once it's all blended up.
Aside from that you will need vegan mayo, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, spicy mustard, salt & pepper. This dressing is the perfect swap for a traditional caesar and will not disappoint.
How to assemble Chickpea Caesar Salad Wraps
Once the dressing and chickpeas are done, just chop up some romaine, tomatoes and avocado and you are ready to assemble.
Grab some EXTRA large wraps, toss the romaine and the dressing, and layer everything up. If you are making these ahead of time, I recommend serving the dressing on the side - so the romaine doesn't get soggy.
Serve these with a side of chips and you have the perfect lunch!

This was amazing, we added some blackened salmon, as we are pescatarian, and it was a great add. This is a new staple in our recipe repertoire, thank you!
Stacey
We made this tonight for supper and my girls and I thought it was delicious!! I ate it as a salad instead of a wrap. Thanks so much for a great recipe, we'll be making it again!!
Terri
I'm wondering why this recipe is high in carbs? Can you help?
Stacie L Seidel
Any recommendation on brand/style wraps? The wraps in pic look super yummy!
Rene
I just used super large flour tortillas!
Donna Bengle
Everyone at my Book Club luncheon loved these!
Rene
Woooooo - so happy to hear that Donna!

I believe this is the amount of carbs for the total recipe (4 wraps). With chick peas being 8g of carbs per serving plus the wraps, that would make the most sense.
Margaret
This was delicious and I'll be making this again, and the dressing again for sure. It's so much better than any store bought Ceasar, and vegan... Love it.
Three only change I made was to add cucumbers to my wrap... It was a big hit at my house.
Rene
So happy to hear Margaret! The dressing is one of my faves too!
