Crispy Tofu Caesar Salad Wrap

Caesar salad, but make it crispy, wrapped and veggie!! 🌯

Ok, I’m going to be honest here: I’ve never been a huge Caesar salad girl. They always felt a little…boring? But then I tried turning it into a wrap with crispy tofu and a creamy dressing and everything changed. It’s one of those meals that feels a little fancy but is honestly super easy to pull together. Plus, it’s high-protein, customizable, and ideal for those days when you want real food but don’t want to spend an hour in the kitchen.

I made this once and immediately added it to my go-to lunch and dinner rotation. It's that good. Whether you're vegan-ish, plant-curious, or just want a break from chicken wraps—this one's for you.

Tips & Notes

• Don’t skip pressing the tofu – it makes it 100x crispier.

• Wrap too full? Slice it in half and enjoy the mess. Worth it.

• Meal prep tip: Make extra tofu + dressing and keep in separate containers for quick wraps all week.

Substitution Ideas

• No tofu? Use crispy chickpeas or tempeh.

• Dairy-free? Use plant-based yogurt and vegan cheese.

• No capers? A splash of soy sauce or a tiny bit of miso works.

• No tahini? Olive oil or cashew butter adds creaminess.
