what is the nutritional value of this meal?
Looks so good! Do you have a link to your ceasar dressing recipe?
It sounds great! What brands would you recommend for brown rice tortillas and where can you buy?
thank you!! I dont have the bag with me anymore but I will try and find it for you.
Does the cashew need to soak over night?
Yes ideally. Or you can soak them in boiling hot water for 15 minutes in a pinch
Could you make the dressing with hemp hearts instead of cashews? Would you still use 1/2 c?
You could try it for sure! I use hemp hearts all the time for salad dressings and it delish. And yes I would use the same measurements.
Would tofu or soy chicken work in this recipe? I love the combination of ingredients in this recipe!
For sure!
