Just made this quick & delicious Veggie Caesar Salad for lunch. I topped it with pan fried smoked tofu and homemade croutons. My not-so-secret ingredient in the dressing and croutons? Nutritional yeast. Mmmmm – so much better than it sounds 😂. Can easily be replaced with Parmesan if you don’t have any on hand. So good… I may just have it again for dinner 😬🤣.
