For 2 servings
- 1 unit Chickpeas
- 1 unit Demi-Baguette
- 2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 4 ounce Grape Tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
- 4 ounce Kale
- 1 unit Lemon
- 6 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Ranch Spice
- 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
Additional Ingredients

Swaps and substitutions
For egg-free, use a vegan mayo or dairy-free Caesar-style dressing; for soy-free, swap the soy-based seasoning with coconut aminos or extra salt and lemon. For gluten-free, replace the baguette with gluten-free croutons or toasted gluten-free bread, and skip the Parmesan for a dairy-free finish if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with a cup of tomato soup or a simple fruit salad to round out the meal without overpowering the bright, savory flavors. Sparkling water with lemon or a crisp white wine also pairs well with the creamy, garlicky Caesar profile.
