This Kale Caesar with Rye Croutons is a delicious rework of the classic and makes the tastiest lunch. I’ve kept the iconic creamy and tangy dressing but made it vegan by using cashews instead of cheese and mayonnaise. I’d recommend making extra of the crispy chickpeas because they make such a delicious and healthy snack to keep you going while you’re working.
