I see a lot of vegan caesar salad recipes that use chickpeas in place of croutons. No shame - because I love chickpeas but sometimes you actually want real croutons.

I created this Vegan Lentil Caesar Salad with Easy Tahini Dressing as a vegan and healthier twist on your standard caesar salad. My boyfriend is a "real" caesar salad lover and he gave it his stamp of approval. It only takes about 20 minutes and makes several servings so it is a perfect quick meal prep option.
<h4>How to make this vegan caesar salad?</h4>
This vegan caesar salad is super easy to make! If you prep your lentils ahead of time it could take you 15 minutes to make. The dressing is made in your blender with simple ingredients.
