  1. Place the
    cashews in a bowl, cover with warm water, and let sit for at least 2 hours
    or overnight.
  2. Preheat the
    oven to 400°F.

    bread into small pieces. Toss the bread with the olive oil and garlic salt
    on a baking sheet. Roast until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool.
  4. Drain the
    cashews. Add the cashews to a blender, along with the lemon juice,

    until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired
    consistency.

    capers and pulse once to combine.
  6. In a large
    bowl, toss the kale and tomatoes with the Caesar dressing, massaging the
    leaves with your hands. Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
  7. Top with
    croutons and vegan parmesan cheese.
