Caesar Salad Recipe With Bacon Croutons And No Raw Egg In Dressing

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.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut the French bread loaf into crouton-sized cubes.

Toss the croutons in bacon drippings from cooked bacon.

Bake the croutons in the oven for 6-8 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Wash and dry 5 leaves of romaine lettuce in a salad spinner.

Stack the lettuce leaves and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, black pepper, salt, granulated garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, and lemon juice.

Toss the chopped lettuce with the dressing and add the bacon croutons on top.
