A plant aioli is a sleeky plant mayonnaise with 1 tsp white vinegar.

Make the Croutons:  Cover the roaster with 2tbsp olive oil and place the 12 slices of white bread, crust-free in a preheated 180C-200C air-oven for 15 minutes. Once crisp remove and allow to cool. Cut into small squares and put aside.

In a bowl combine the 8 Romaine (Cos) lettuce in bite size pieces with the Aioli. Crush with a garlic press or cut finely the 4 large cloves of garlic and add the 3 tsp of vegan mushroom oyster sauce. Season with salt and pepper and mix altogether. Add the croutons and the 4tbsp Nutritional Yeast. Enjoy with a white wine!
