NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:
This is the perfect Caesar Dressing in my opinion. Caesar Salad isn’t super high on the “good for you” scale. So, for my family we only eat it once in a while and I’m careful to be modest with the amount of dressing I use. This recipe actually makes enough to dress 2 family sized side salads. A lean protein accompaniment like boneless skinless chicken breast or flank steak would complete this meal. I’ve also subbed in baby kale instead of the romaine (or 50/50).
