Instructions

Preparation

Start by making homemade croutons: Cube gluten-free bread, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then bake at 400°F until golden.
Grill chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper; slice into strips once cooked.
In a large bowl, combine Romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, and croutons.

Dressing

For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

For additional flavor, add freshly grated Parmesan cheese or more nutritional yeast. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, keeping croutons separate to maintain crunchiness.
