While most people think of salads as safe vegan territory, there are actually many classic salads that vegans can’t eat because they contain animal products. So while caesar salad is one of the most common ones around, it actually isn’t vegan-friendly as it uses ingredients like egg, anchovies, and parmesan cheese.
But if you’re a plant-based eater and still want to enjoy the deliciousness of a caesar salad, or you’re having guests over and want to make sure your vegan friends can enjoy the salad, too, here are some vegan caesar salad recipes you can use.
