Ingredients
  

Tofu

  • ½ block 8 ounces [227g] super firm tofu
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Spray oil

Caesar Salad

  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped (about 10 ounces [280g])
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¾ cup vegan mozzarella shreds or homemade
  • *if using shreds 84g if using homemade 200g
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 9-12 inch pizza crust
  • 3 tablespoons croutons

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). if using store-bought according to package directions, if using homemade according to recipe directions.
  • Cut the tofu block crosswise into ¼ inch thick slices. Then cut those slices in half to make rectangles. Coat both sides of the tofu in the seasonings. Note: I like to use my little George Foreman grill but you can use a grill pan or just pan fry it as well. If you want to use a regular grill cut the tofu thicker and oil it very well. Spray the grill with oil spray and then place the tofu in. Grill for about 8 to 10 minutes until marks are made, flip and grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until fully cooked and grill marks are made. Once the tofu is done cut each rectangle in half lengthwise to form smaller rectangles.
  • Spread garlic powder and vegan mozzarella over the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or according to package/recipe directions.
  • Meanwhile, add all ingredients for Caesar salad (minus romaine lettuce) into a jar. Cover with a lid and shake to make dressing. Taste and adjust any seasonings to preference. If you feel the dressing is too thick add an addition 1 tsp to 1 tbsp of water to preference.
  • Add the chopped romaine into a bowl. Optional, sprinkle some garlic powder and black pepper over top of the lettuce. Then add the dressing and mix it up.
  • Once the pizza is done place the salad on top, along with the tofu strips, and croutons. You can add vegan parmesan and black pepper on top if you like. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy.
