A raw vegan Caesar salad recipe that will make you love dairy-free, oil-free salads. This recipe uses chia seeds to thicken it, not gunky emulsifiers and thickeners often found in the processed, store-bought stuff. Chia is such an easy, omega-3 rich way to make your salad dressing stick to your salad greens. Which is always a good thing.

Ingredients
For the salad
1 head romaine lettuce
1 nori sheet
Black pepper, to taste
For the dressing
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 garlic clove (optional - I did not use it, but you can if you want it to be more authentic)
2 tablespoons soaked capers
1 medium zucchini
Instructions
For the dressing
Blend all ingredients until completely smooth. If you would like the dressing to turn out white, peel the zucchini and save the peels for a juice or put them in any other sauce, dressing, or dip.
To assemble
Chop the romaine thinly.
Tear a nori sheet by hand and sprinkle into the romaine.
Mix with the dressing, and sprinkle with black pepper.

Dear ALL,

I am new to this forum. I have been struggling to lose weight and was recently diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. I need some advices on how to go about it. I have tried so many diets and exercises. Nothing seems to be working.
