Cauldron

Tofu Caesar Salad

There were (at least) two famous Caesars. One an emperor, one a salad inventor. They’re often mixed up - just like this tasty Tofu Caesar Salad. Chop, slice and serve layers of crunchy salad, then top with some delightful crispy coated Authentic Tofu and a drizzle of creamy dressing.

Ingredients:

For the crispy baked tofu

  • 1 x 396g block Cauldron Authentic Tofu

  • 100g plain flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika powder

  • 100ml plant milk

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 160g breadcrumbs

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for baking

For the dressing

  • 4 tbsp vegan mayo

  • 2 tbsp capers, chopped

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

For the salad

  • 1 pack little gem lettuce, chopped

  • 1 tin chickpeas, drained

  • 2 slices of stale bread (optional), to make croutons

Method:

  1. Start by draining and removing the excess water from the Authentic Tofu, then cut into bite-size cubes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200C (180°C fan).

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic & paprika. In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk & mustard. Add the breadcrumbs to a third bowl.

  4. Dip each bite-piece of tofu into the flour mix, then dip in the milk mix, & coat in the breadcrumbs.

  5. Place the breaded tofu on a baking tray and drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy.

  6. Prepare the croutons by cutting the bread into small cubes, toss in a little oil, add any seasonings of your choice (e.g. salt, pepper, paprika) and add them to the oven alongside the tofu for the last 3-4 minutes of baking.

  7. For the dressing, blend vegan mayo, garlic, lemon juice & capers until smooth

  8. To serve, toss each portion of lettuce & chickpeas with 1/4 of the dressing, then top with crispy tofu & croutons and enjoy!
