Grilled Caesar Salad with Big Swede BBQ

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

Toasted bread is healthier and can be made at home.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Capers provide a similar briny flavor without fish.

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: egg whites

Silken tofu offers creaminess without cholesterol.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Cut the romaine lettuce in half lengthwise.

Brush the cut sides of the romaine with olive oil.

Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the grill.

Grill until lightly charred, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the romaine from the grill and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.

Add minced garlic, anchovies, salt, and black pepper to the dressing.

Toss the grilled romaine with the dressing until well coated.

Top with croutons and shaved parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra black pepper.
