Add ingredients for the dressing to a small blender. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use (Note: dressing will thicken in the refrigerator, so stir in 1 tbl water if needed before using).
Prepare the Vegan Parmesan
Add ingredients the raw walnuts to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients and process to combine until small couscous-sized bits form.
Prepare the Roasted Almonds
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss together all ingredients for the roasted almonds in a mixing bowl until everything is well coated. Spread almonds on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy.
Prepare the Caesar Salad
Add the chopped kale and romaine to a large mixing bowl. Add desired amount of vegan caesar salad dressing (I use 4 to 5 tablespoons). Toss well until greens are well-coated. Add vegan parmesan cheese and toss again to combine. Serve salad with roasted almonds on top.
Notes
*You can replace the sunflower butter with 1/2 cup raw cashews that have been soaked overnight, or 1/3 cup cashew butter.**You can also use regular liquid aminos or vegan Worcestershire sauce.***Replace kalamata olives with 2 tbl capers
