Description

Directions

• 1) Combine the first eight ingredients in the food processor. Pulse a few times to mix, then blend until smooth.
• 2) Add one cup vegan parmesan cheese to mixture and blend well until smooth. Chill until ready to dress salad.
• 3) Cut washed lettuce into 1 inch strips. (It is best to use a salad spinner to dry lettuce as dressing will apply more evenly.) Place in bowl, and add dollops of dressing to lettuce. Gently mix in with tongs using stirring and flipping motion. Dressing is thick but will mix in easily.
• 4) Plate salad and top with roasted chickpeas and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Vegan Parmesan Cheese or to taste.
