parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

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

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade vinaigrette

Yogurt-based dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought bread cubes

Toasted whole grain bread is healthier and can be made at home.
