Did you know that these bad boys are not actually named after a Roman Emperor? Nope. Caesar salads get their name from one Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who immigrated to the US after WWI. Despite having a home in San Diego, the Cardini family operated a restaurant in Tijuana because of prohibition.

Many Americans would go to Tijuana to drink, so business for restaurants at that time in Tijuana was booming. According to Caesar’s daughter, on July 4th, 1924, Caesar was running short on supplies due to an unexpected rush of customers. In order to not have to turn customers away, he created a salad and dressing out of some of the remaining ingredients he had lying around.

In our version, we’re using our good friend - the king oyster mushroom - to recreate the taste and texture of chicken. It’s so easy to pull apart into chicken-y chunks and you can find them in most Asian supermarkets.

This really is a super tasty and healthy vegan salad recipe. If you are looking for weigh watchers recipes or slimming world dishes- we think you will love this too!

πŸ„2. First, prepare the β€œchicken”. Cut the caps off the king oyster mushrooms and finely slice them. Pull the prongs of two forks along the length of the mushroom stems, roughly tearing them into 1-2 inch long matchsticks. Put the mushrooms in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the chicken seasoning and toss to combine making sure mushroom is evenly coated with the flavouring. Put the roasting tin into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes.

Add the bread to the bowl and toss to combine, making sure the cubes are well covered. Spread the cubes out on a baking tray, put the tray in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

πŸ„4.Now make the salad dressing. Grate the garlic clove. Put the garlic, nutritional yeast, egg free mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, lemon zest and juice in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Taste the dressing and season to perfection with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to the mixture if the sauce needs loosening.

πŸ„5. Assemble the salad. Trim and roughly chop the lettuce. Add the lettuce, the pulled oyster mushrooms and half the croutons to the bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle the remaining croutons, and second tbsp of nutritional yeast (if using) over the Caesar Salad and serve immediately.

About Pekva Eggs

The Pekva has a musical staff imprinted upon its egg. When this staff is read and played by a musician, it sounds like unharmonious nonsense though. Maybe the creature inside will bring forth a more intelligent song?

About the Pekva Creature

Despite the fact that the musical staff on its egg is essentially gibberish, Pekvas hatch and become the most musical of the songbirds in Ark. After intense study and observation by the Science and Research Center in Ark City, it is estimated that Pekvas spend nearly 80% of their waking hours chirping and singing songs. Likely as a result of this, Pekvas aren't awake as many daily hours compared to other birds of their size. In other words, Pekvas require a significant amount of rest to produce their original tune.

Pekvas are also remarkable in that they don't just repeat the same song over and over again. They're constantly learning new songs from other birds (including species other than the Pekva). They even have the ability to "splice" songs to synthesize something newβ€”part of how a Pekva produces a unique song is by taking two distinct parts from other birds' songs and putting them together. Each Pekva bird perpetuates this process forward so that there is always something new to listen to.
