How to make Vegan Caesar Salad Wrap
Prepare the Chickpeas and Vegan Chicken Nuggets
Strain and rinse your chickpeas. Toss them in garlic powder, onion powder, and salt for added flavor. Place the seasoned chickpeas in one half of the air fryer tray and arrange your vegan chicken nuggets on the other half. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes or bake at 425°F for 11 minutes to achieve crispy perfection.
Tempeh Bacon Option for Vegan Caesar Salad Wrap
If you prefer tempeh bacon over vegan chicken, prepare the marinade in a container and toss your tempeh in the marinade. Once coated well, pan fry for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat.
High Protein Hemp Seed Dressing
While your chickpeas and protein cook, make your hemp seed dressing by blending together hemp seeds, plant milk, capers, caper brine, Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved.
Toss Dressing into Lettuce
Chop your romaine lettuce and toss it in the prepared high-protein hemp dressing.
Assemble the Wrap
Take your tortilla and layer it with the romaine lettuce. Add the crispy chickpeas, vegan chicken nuggets or tempeh bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced onions.
Pan Fry for Extra Crispy Wrap
Roll the tortilla tightly and pan-fry the wrap on all sides to add an irresistible crunch to the wrap.
Time to Enjoy!
Cut the vegan Caesar salad wrap in half or into bites and savor the delicious combination of flavors and textures. The crispy chickpeas, savory protein, and creamy high-protein hemp dressing combine to create a delightful wrap perfect for parties.
Recipe Tips for Vegan Caesar Salad Wrap
- Use a whole wheat tortilla for extra fiber and nutrients!
- Make a salad instead! Instead of making a wrap add your ingredients on top of a bed of brown rice or quinoa!
- Use extra chickpeas in place of vegan chicken nuggets if you prefer.
- Experiment with different seasonings for the chickpeas. You can add smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Allergies/Substitutions
- Can I swap the hemp seeds? If you can’t find hemp seeds, you can use raw cashews or sunflower seeds instead!
- Make it gluten-free! You can make this gluten-free by using a gluten-free tortilla and making my homemade tempeh bacon instead of vegan chicken! Make sure to use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for the tempeh bacon!
- If you have nut allergies, this is the perfect Caesar dressing, as it is made without nuts.
Does this Vegan Caesar Wrap really taste like a Caesar wrap?
Yes! While this Vegan Caesar Salad Wrap is a plant-based twist on the classic Caesar wrap, it is packed with flavors you love. Experience the Authentic Caesar Flavor with the delicious Hemp Seed Dressing that tastes like a Caesar salad dressing (thanks to capers). The hemp seeds add a delicious creaminess without the dairy.
The combination of zesty lemon juice, tangy Dijon mustard, and the bold flavors of caper brine adds the same tangy flavor that we all adore in a Caesar dressing. Trust me, whether you’re vegan or not, this recipe will not disappoint.
