I love a good salad and have spent some time trying all kinds of combinations with salad ingredients and dressings. A few of the most delicious and satiating salads I've made take some time to prepare, which means I don't make them very often.
One of my favorites, however, is a simple Caesar salad. It takes minimal ingredients, but the flavors are rich (especially when topped with some chicken hot off the grill!).
My nutrition of choice includes being dairy-free, so the Parmesan topping for the Caesar salad or any other meal that includes Parmesan, is out.
For the most part, I have omitted Parmesan without missing it; but there have been some meals that could truly use some type of "Parmesan cheese"!
After some trial and error, a bit of research and some creative thinking, I finally found a way to make a solid no-cheese Parmesan. The flavor has the right amount of saltiness and the crunchiness satisfies the palate.
Sprinkle over your Caesar salad, asparagus or your favorite roasted vegetable. Or, my favorite; coat chicken breasts, salmon or shrimp prior to cooking. It's delicious!
Ingredients
1 c raw cashews or raw almonds (or a mix of both!)
1 garlic clove
1 tsp sea salt
Add ingredients to your food processor and pulse until you have coarse consistency.
