Vegan Kale Caesar Salad


I love cheese. Bummer it is not part of my slim down regimen. So I have been finding ways to get the flavor I love, but without all the dairy I love to consume. This recipe hit the spot. It tastes so much like the traditional Caesar salad I love, that I may just make it like this from now on! I am making a wrap out of the leftovers today. 

Now I love to use baby kale, baby arugula and baby spinach together. Packed with omega 3's, The blend hits the spot. My favorite brand is Organic Girl, if I can't get it from my local farmers market,  you will always find several of these packages in my fridge. I love that it is washed 3 times. Their Powerhouse blend is my favorite. I still spritz it with my veggie cleaner and do a quick strain. Just because I am paranoid. 
If you like Caesar salad, I would highly recommend this. It is extra tasty with blackened salmon on top. Yum! We don't enjoy croutons, so I didn't include them. If you do, the instructions to add croutons are below
