Mexican Caesar Salad

I love making this salad and I really want to share the recipe with you! I made it the other day for lunch at my girlfriends house. She was doing a photoshoot for her new skincare line. Be on the lookout for LANIMA beauty! It’s the most beautiful line of clean skincare! Ok, here’s the recipe, more on skincare later 🙂

Mexican Caesar Salad

1 head of romaine, chopped

1 buch of lacinto kale, chopped

1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

1/3 cup toasted pepitas (sunflower seeds)

1/3 cup sliced green onions

2 avocados, diced

3/4 cup diced jicama

1/2 cup crispy tortilla strips, optional

dressing:

1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight

1/4 cup water

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1 tbsp. whole grain mustard

1 clove garlic

1/2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
