Ingredients

• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.25 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Raw cashews
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Hemp seeds

Directions

Step 1

Remove any damaged outer leaves and thoroughly rinse the romaine lettuce head to remove dirt or debris. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Slice the romaine lettuce head into quarters lengthwise to create four wedges. Set these aside on serving plates.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the cucumber. Thinly slice the red onion and set the vegetables aside in separate bowls.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for 15 minutes to soften them. Drain and rinse well.

Step 5

In a high-powered blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic clove, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more almond milk if needed.

Step 6

Carefully layer the sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion over each lettuce wedge.

Step 7

Drizzle the creamy cashew dressing over the wedges, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Dice the avocado and divide it among the salads, placing chunks on top of each wedge.

Step 9

Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley and hemp seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp textures and vibrant flavors.
