Sometimes we just have to have a Caesar salad, even if we’re feeling a bit heavy and bloated. The good news is that Jamie Oliver is obsessed with eating lighter and healthier, and he’s come up with a Caesar salad recipe that will give you all the taste you’re craving without any of the excess carbs or fat. This lightened up version of the salad doesn’t have any bacon or croutons, but it also swaps out the mayonnaise in the dressing for yogurt. And it’s just as tasty, I promise!
Ingredients:
1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped and washed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
1.) In a medium-sized bowl combine the garlic, yogurt, olive oil, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and anchovy paste. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
2.) Place washed Romaine lettuce into a large bowl and drizzle dressing over top. Toss to thoroughly coat lettuce in the dressing and garnish with a bit more Parmesan cheese.
3.) Serve and enjoy!
