Caesar salad re-imagined with salad dressing and cheese that are vegan and oil free. Using baby greens, the nutritional value increases and the taste is sensational. Not only are calories for a salad 25% less than a traditional Caesar. But the really big differences are on fat and saturated fat as well as the sodium. For the salad dressing, taste this one blindfolded against the “other” Caesar salad and you tell me what you think. This one is healthier and no sacrifice on taste at all. In fact, have another helping. Eat your veggies. I like this over grilled cauliflower as well as the traditional Caesar salad. Also, if you cannot give up cheese, this one might give you pause. Add this to the Vegan Caesar salad or other foods you love to add a bit of Parmesan.
