Our chefs' riff on a vegan Caesar salad is sure to check all the boxes. You’ll pair a base of kale, white beans, and roasted broccoli with a creamy dressing featuring vegan Worcestershire sauce, lemon, mustard, and nutritional yeast—a flavor powerhouse that helps simulate the nutty, cheesy flavor of Parm, minus the dairy. A shower of crispy garlic panko and ciabatta toast points complete the meal.

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Remove and discard any large stems from kale if necessary; chop into bite-size pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Drain and rinse beans.
• Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with 2 tsp olive oil (4 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
• Place kale in a large bowl; add a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Using your hands, massage (similar to how you would knead dough) until leaves are tender, 1-2 minutes.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings) in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, half the garlic powder, half the nutritional yeast, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.
• In a second small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, remaining garlic powder, remaining nutritional yeast, 1⁄2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and juice from one lemon wedge (1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and juice from two lemon wedges for 4 servings). (Save any remaining Worcestershire sauce for another use.) Set aside.
• Halve ciabatta and toast until golden brown. • Lightly drizzle cut sides with olive oil. Halve on a diagonal.
• To bowl with kale, add broccoli, beans, and dressing; toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Divide salad between plates. Top with toasted panko and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve with ciabatta points and remaining lemon wedges on the side.
