The Best Healthy Caesar Salad Recipe | No Anchovies, No Raw Eggs!

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

Whole grain bread is more nutritious.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds flavor.

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade dressing

Yogurt-based dressings are lighter and can be made at home.

Chop the baguette into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave.

Season the melted butter with salt and pepper.

Place the bread cubes in a bowl and drizzle the butter over them, then toss to combine.

Spread the buttered bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

In a small bowl, measure out 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yogurt.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.

Add 1 clove of minced garlic and finely grated parmesan cheese to the bowl, then mix until combined.

Prepare the chicken breast by placing it between two layers of cling film and pound it lightly with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin.

Slice the chicken breast diagonally and season with salt and pepper.

Lightly oil the chicken and heat a pan until hot.

Add the chicken to the pan and season the other side while it sears.

Flip the chicken once it releases easily from the pan, checking for grill marks.

Add bacon to the pan while the chicken is cooking.

In a large bowl, add washed and dried Boston lettuce leaves.

For the amount of lettuce, use one ladle (about 2 tablespoons) of the yogurt dressing and toss gently with a spatula to avoid bruising the leaves.

Plate the salad by arranging the lettuce leaves, leaning the chicken on one side, and scattering the bacon and croutons around the plate.

Top the salad with additional parmesan cheese.
