5 from 2 votes

This Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad is a lighter, plant-based alternative to the traditional Caesar. Shaved Brussels sprouts provide a hearty, crunchy base, while the homemade vegan Caesar dressing, made with creamy cashews, delivers the same tangy, umami-packed flavor without dairy, anchovies or eggs. Topped with roasted chickpeas, sliced almonds, and green onions, it’s an easy and impressive dish that works as a side or a main course.
