30 minutes
Tofu Caesar salad is an original variation of the classic dish, combining the tenderness of soy cheese with the rich flavors of traditional dressing. The legendary Caesar was born in the early 20th century thanks to Italian chef Caesar Cardini, but its vegetarian adaptation opens new dimensions of gastronomic pleasure. Fried garlic adds spiciness, while anchovies and olives deepen the flavor. The creamy texture of the sauce pairs with crispy romaine greens and golden croutons, creating a harmonious ensemble. This salad is a find for those seeking a balance between healthiness and sophistication, making it perfect as a light lunch or an elegant dinner dish. Enjoy the vibrant taste and refined presentation as you discover a modern take on culinary classic.
