When I am eating fatfree I really miss Caesar salad. I won't
pretend this recipe tastes exactly or even a lot like Caesar
salad, because it doesn't. But it is at least reminiscent of
it, and I think it's tasty whether it's like Caesar or not.
Nikki and David Goldbeck's Caesar salad recipe, from American
Wholefoods Cuisine, was the jumping-off point, although I'm not
sure they'd recognize the end result.
Un-Caesar Salad
1-4 cloves garlic, to taste, chopped
(I used 4 and it was hot and garlicky)
4 T fresh lemon juice
1 T capers including the brine
4 T chickpeas
4 T additional chickpea can or cooking liquid
2 tsp tamari, or to taste - depends on salt in beans
additional capers for garnish
pepper
croutons (optional)
Romaine lettuce
Blend everything except the last three items until only tiny
pieces of chickpea are visible. (I used a Braun hand-blender).
Toss Romaine lettuce with mixture. Garnish with the capers and
fresh ground black pepper and croutons. Makes somewhere around 1
cup.
