I Can't Believe It's Vegan Caesar Salad

Submitted by Prose

"Dulse sea veggies make an excellent substitute for anchovies in this healthy take on the original Caesar salad. This is inspired by a recipe from Vegetarian Meals for People-on-the-Go by Vimala Rodgers. She called for crumbled nori, but I think the dulse has a much richer, more anchovy-like flavor. You can find dulse at most health food stores or Asian markets. Serves four as an appetizer or one as a meal. You can top with a grilled tofu fillet and serve with good bread or soup."
