    This is LITERALLY the most addictive salad on the planet! You're going to make it, look at it, and think "This is plenty to share...", then you're going to take a bite and realize, nope, that whole thing is just for you.

    Ok, maybe you're nicer than me, and you'll share. But this salad is so, so tasty!

    How to make Vegan Avocado Kale Caesar with Everything Bagel Croutons

    From the homemade sourdough, everything bagel croutons, to the stupidly simple tahini dressing, to the chunks of fresh avocado. I'm telling you...addicting.

    So, to make the best croutons you've ever eaten, you just need a couple things. Day old sourdough (or your bread of choice), olive oil and Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, no worries. You can buy it online, find another brand at your local store, or do a quick google search to find out how to make your own.

    It is basically a combo of sesame seeds, garlic, salt & pepper. If you haven't tried it - you need to. You will want to put this stuff on everything.

    Once you have your crouton ingredients combined, give them a quick toss, then bake for about 20 minutes. They will get crunchy and delicious.

    While the croutons are cooking, make the rest of your salad.

    How to serve Vegan Avocado Kale Caesar with Everything Bagel Croutons

    The dressing is a simple combo of tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt & pepper. Shake everything up in a mason jar (or stir together in a bowl) and let it hang out in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

    And that's pretty much it. Toss together your kale, avocado, croutons and dressing. If you want to add some vegan parm to the top, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Or maybe even serve it with some vegan chicken? Feel free to add your own flare or keep it as is.

    Either way, you (and anyone you share this with) is going to devour this in seconds. Mark my words 🙂

    Notes

    *You can get this at Trader Joe's, online or find a recipe online to make your own. 
    **You may have more dressing than you need. Add dressing to your liking and save any leftover dressing in the fridge. If you plan on having leftovers, only dress as much salad as you plan on eating.
