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

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

After washing the salad and draining it well, place it in a salad sac and transfer to the freezer for 20 minutes then to the refrigerator until ready to serve. It makes the lettuce very crispy.

Cut half of one garlic clove and rub the bottom and the sides of the salad bowl.

Add yolk, Dijonnaise and horseradish; whisk until well blended. Add pressed garlic, Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper; whisk again.

Emulsify the olive oil by slowly pouring in the mixture, whisking constantly.

Add lemon juice and grated cheese to the dressing; combine well.

When ready to serve, add the chilled lettuce to the dressing and toss until well coated.

Add bacon, capers and croutons; toss to combine.

Place in 4 serving plates and sprinkle more cheese on top.
