It&#8217;s the perfect summer pasta salad to serve for dinner or as a side. It keeps well and is a great dish to bring to any party or BBQ.<\/p>\n<p>The caesar dressing and the hemp parmesan is from my classic <a href=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/vegan-caesar-salad-with-hemp-parmesan-gluten-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegan caesar salad<\/a> recipe and it is so easy to make. The dressing is cashew based and bursting with flavor and the hemp parmesan only takes a few ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>To add some protein to this pasta salad, I thought crispy tofu would be a yummy addition. This might be my favorite crispy tofu ever. It&#8217;s very well seasoned and insanely crispy. I highly recommend you buy a tofu press because it really gets out a lot of liquid from the tofu. If you don&#8217;t have one though, you can wrap your tofu in a tea towel or paper towels and place a baking sheet on top with something heavy on it, like books or a cast iron pan. I cooked my tofu in the air fryer but you can definitely bake it or pan fry it.<\/p>\n<p>This kale caesar pasta salad is filling, packed with plant protein and fiber, healthy, and such a crowd pleaser. It will be everyone&#8217;s favorite side at your next BBQ. It is also vegan, gluten-free friendly, and oil-free too.<\/p>\n<p>If you make this pasta salad, tag me @nutsaboutgreens on Instagram so I can see your creations and leave a comment
