This Spicy Caesar Wedge Salad is the BEST party salad. Made with vegan Caesar dressing and topped with garlic bread crumbs!
Ingredients
FOR THE BREAD CRUMBS
- 2 tablespoons oil I used avocado oil
- 1.5 cups bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt & pepper to taste
FOR THE DRESSING
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1-2 teaspoons caper brine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1-2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1-2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- salt to taste
FOR THE SALAD
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- grated vegan parmesan I used Follow Your Heart
- 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs, garlic and a pinch of salt & pepper. Cook until toasted and browned, stirring frequently - should take about 10 minutes. Turn down the heat if it starts to brown too quickly. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Set aside.
- Cut the lettuce into 6 wedges. Cut those wedges in half - you will have 12 lettuce wedges.
- To assemble, place the wedges on a platter. Drizzle with the dressing, making sure it gets into all of the crevices. Top with bread crumbs, vegan parmesan and parsley. Serve right away or chill in the fridge.

Notes
- I made the bread crumbs from scratch by placing cubed ciabatta bread in a food processor and pulsing.
