4 Servings 20 min Cook
15 Oz Chickpeas
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 Cup Cashew Nuts
1/4 Cup Water
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Clove Garlic
1 Tsp Vinegar
2 Tbsp, drained Capers
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Pepper
1/3 Cup Cashew Nuts
1/2 Cup Organic Hemp Seeds
1 Clove Garlic
1/2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
5 Cup, chopped Kale
2 Head Lettuce
Soak cashews in a bowl of water overnight, or for at least a few hours.
Drain and rinse.
To make the roast chickpea croutons: Preheat oven to 400°F.
Drain and rinse chickpeas.
Place chickpeas in a tea towel and rub dry (it's okay if some skins fall off).
Place onto large rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tsp oil and roll around to coat.
Sprinkle on the 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and optional 1/4 tsp cayenne.
Toss to coat.
Roast for 20 minutes at 400°F, then gently roll the chickpeas around in the baking sheet.
Roast for another 10 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
They will firm up as they cool.
Prepare the dressing: Add 1/2 cup soaked cashews, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 small garlic clove, vinegar, capers, and pepper into a high-speed blender, and blend on high until the dressing is super smooth.
Add a touch more water if needed.
Add salt to taste and adjust other seasonings, if desired.
Set aside.
Prepare the faux Parmesan cheese: Add 1/3 cup soaked cashews and 1 clove garlic into a mini food processor and process until finely chopped.
Now add in 2 tbsp hulled hemp seeds, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and pulse until the mixture is combined.
Salt to taste.
Prepare the lettuce: Remove the kale stems and then finely chop the leaves.
Wash and dry.
Place into extra large bowl.
Chop up the romaine into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse and dry.
Place into bowl along with kale.
You should have roughly 5 cups chopped kale and 10 cups chopped romaine.
To assemble: add dressing onto lettuce and toss until fully coated.
Season with a pinch of salt and mix again.
Now sprinkle on the roasted chickpeas and the faux cheese.
Serve immediately.
Tip: dressing thickens when chilled, so leave it at room temperature to soften before using.
