Add crispy roasted chickpeas to the salad for a crunchy topping.
Prepare the tahini Caesar dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, water, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the consistency by adding 1-2 additional tablespoons of water if needed to make it pourable.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the greens and toppings evenly.
Top the salad with vegan croutons for added texture and flavor.
