Looking for a healthy, light, yet refreshing meal? Look no further! This Caesar salad is light, filling and delicious! The best part, this Caesar dressing includes no anchovies! I love an excellent Caesar salad, but could not find a good bottled dressing in the grocery store. So I tried to make my own. After a couple of trials, this was my family's favorite!
Need a healthy side dish with this salad? Highly recommend pairing this salad with our roasted garlic parmesan sweet potatoes. (See the recipe on our webpage for a quick and easy side dish!) Perfect healthy vegetable protein packed (with no meat) meal!
