The Ultimate Caesar Salad Recipe

Caesar salad gets a bad rap as a non healthy food choice - deservedly so in most cases, as they often contain a generous content of mayo, parmesan, croutons, and oil.  These versions can easily come in at a higher calorie count than a Big Mac!

Here is a fabulous, calorie savvy recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  Instead of adding croutons and cheese, throw a grilled chicken breast or salmon on top to make a fantastic, protein-rich dinner.
Note that this dressing is not low salt, due to the salt in the anchovies.

INGREDIENTS: (super easy to remember, as everything but the anchovies are in 2's):

• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp ground pepper
• 1 can of anchovies (in olive oil) - 'Millionaires' brand tastes best
• 2 large heads of romaine lettuce, chopped

DIRECTIONS:  (it couldn't be easier!)

Put the first six ingredients into a small blender (e.g. Magic Bullet).  Blend until smooth. 

Put the lettuce in a large bowl, pour the dressing on top, and toss.    Serve into bowls. 

Makes four dinner sized servings. Per serving:
