093 Chicken Caesar Salad

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade vinaigrette

Yogurt dressing reduces calories while providing creaminess.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in fat.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought bread cubes

Toasted bread provides fiber and is more wholesome.

grilled chicken breast

🥗Healthier: baked chicken

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Baked chicken retains moisture and is easier to prepare.

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

Grill the chicken breast until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.

Slice the grilled chicken into strips once rested.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced chicken, and croutons.

Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Shave or grate Parmesan cheese on top of the salad.

Add black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
