Did you know that the Caesar salad has been the most popular restaurant salad in the country since its creation in the early 1920s? Although there are many variations, I believe that nothing beats this delicious vegan recipe and its crunchy goodness. The creamy dressing—which is infused with garlic, an antioxidant-rich superfood—will boost your immune system and fight off any runny noses this season.
This nutrient-packed salad works well as a side dish, or grab a big ol’ bowl and dig in for your main course! Your taste buds won’t be disappointed.
