 By Cathy Fisher of StraightUpFood.com I like this recipe when I want a fattening Caesar salad without the fat and salt. The bell pepper adds some additional color and flavor. You can top the salad with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour. And air-fried potato cubes or roasted chickpeas add a change in texture. I have adjusted this recipe to be oil and fat free. You can buy pre-washed romaine lettuce in packages of three. The dressing makes enough to dress three salads. And one can of chickpeas can be divided into three parts as well. I eat this giant salad over three consecutive days. Ingredients for Salad (1 serving)
Ingredients for the Dressing (3 servings)
Method
*Note: Using a plastic knife to cut the Romaine stops it from going brown. Or hand ripping the lettuce also can reduce oxidation. If you will be eating this salad over several days, prepare you lettuce this way, but store it separate from the dressing until you are ready to serve.

At the beginning of this chapter, I said that on Friday you will soak the beans overnight. On Saturday you will cook the beans, then after they cool you can make this cheez sauce. This recipe is super simple. Only the beans are the time-consuming part. In a pinch you could use canned cannellini beans. But the sauce will not be as creamy as when you use small white navy beans. Ingredients:
Blend until smooth. You can store in glass jars in the fridge. This also freezes well but don’t freeze in jars, they tend to crack. Use one of your 4-cup glass storage containers. Go here to print this recipe: btc_recipe_white_bean_cheez_sauce.docx |
