THE ORIGINAL CAESAR SALAD RECIPE

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: Nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Capers provide a similar briny flavor without fish.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

egg yolks

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Silken tofu offers creaminess without cholesterol.

Prepare croutons by tearing day old bread and toasting it with smashed garlic cloves in olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Make the Caesar dressing by smashing a clove of garlic into a paste and mixing it with Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and egg yolk.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion.

In a large bowl, combine the romaine hearts and croutons.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Grate Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
