How to make classic Caesar salad | Canadian Living

anchovies

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Capers provide a briny flavor without fish.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in fat.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil offers a similar taste with a higher smoke point.

egg yolk

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Silken tofu is a vegan alternative that adds creaminess.

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then tear it into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, anchovies, and a pinch of salt; mash into a paste.

Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl; whisk until smooth.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified.

Add the torn lettuce to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the dressing.

Sprinkle croutons and grated Parmesan cheese over the salad and toss lightly again.

Season with black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
