Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: vinaigrette

Yogurt-based dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

Toasted whole grain bread is healthier and can be made at home.

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Grilled chicken offers a lean protein alternative.

Defrost salmon on a defrost plate.

Cut the salmon fillet in half, then into six pieces.

Prepare flour, egg wash (cracked eggs), and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.

Mix parsley into the breadcrumbs.

Dunk each piece of salmon in flour, shake off excess, then dip into egg wash.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the salmon pieces after placing them in the pan.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salmon and season with salt.

Place salmon pieces in the air fryer and cook for about 5 minutes until crispy.

In a chopper, combine garlic, anchovy fillet, egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and finely grated parmesan cheese.

Add extra virgin olive oil to the dressing mixture and blend.

Toss romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl with the Caesar dressing.

Taste the dressing for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

Plate the salad and top with the crispy salmon.
