Description
These Crispy Chickpea Caesar Salad Wraps are made with skillet-crisped chickpeas, chopped romaine, avocado, tomato, and a creamy vegan Caesar-style dressing. Keep the dressing separate if making the wraps ahead so the romaine stays crisp.
Ingredients
For the Vegan Caesar Dressing
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- Lemon juice
- Fresh parsley
- Garlic
- Capers
- Caper brine
- Spicy mustard
- Black pepper
- Salt
For the Crispy Chickpeas
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- Garlic salt
- Onion powder
- Smoked paprika
- Black pepper
- Dried parsley
- Oil, for cooking
For the Wraps
- 4 large wraps
- 2 heads romaine, chopped
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Add the vegan mayo, lemon juice, fresh parsley, garlic, capers, caper brine, spicy mustard, black pepper, and salt to a food processor.
- Pulse until the Caesar dressing is combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
- In a bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dried parsley.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chickpeas to the skillet.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chickpeas are slightly crispy.
- Transfer the chickpeas to a bowl.
- If serving right away, toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing.
- Layer each wrap with dressed romaine, crispy chickpeas, sliced avocado, and sliced tomato.
- Roll each wrap tightly.
- Cut each wrap in half and serve.
Notes
- If making these ahead for lunch, keep the dressing separate.
- Add the dressing just before serving so the romaine stays crisp.
- Fully dressed romaine is best for immediate serving.
- Do not freeze these wraps.
- These wraps are served cold, so reheating is not needed.
Notes
- The chickpeas should be slightly crispy, not fully roasted.
- Stir the chickpeas frequently while cooking so they crisp evenly and do not sit too long in one spot.
- Capers and caper brine help give the dressing its Caesar-style tang.
- Do not add chicken, cheese, eggs, dairy Caesar dressing, or animal-based Caesar ingredients to the core recipe.
- Roll the wraps tightly so the filling stays inside.
- Cut each wrap in half before serving.
