Quick-and-easy Vegan Caesar-style Salad Recipe

Looking for something light and delicious to eat for lunch or dinner?  This salad contains plenty of fiber and protein to keep you full and energized.  It's also vegan and can easily be made organic and gluten free.

You will need:

1 Cup romaine lettuce

1 Cup chopped spinach or kale (raw)

1/4 cucumber, chopped

1/2 avocado, chopped (optional)

2 tbsp of black olives, sliced

2 tbsp hummus (use your favorite flavor, but garlic and herb tastes most like Caesar dressing)

1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Layer your veggies in a bowl.  Add the hummus, and gently stir to coat the vegetables in the "dressing."  Sprinkle the nutritional yeast on top for a cheese-like finish.  Serve with whole-grain toast dabbed with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic powder to add a yummy side of complex carbs.
