Chicken Caesar Salad

Caesar salads can be huge fat traps with their creamy dressings and deep-fried croutons. Not this one. Make your own tangy, low fat Caesar salad dressing, and use either fat-free croutons from the grocery store or bake your own croutons.

Ingredients: 

• 1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn
• 2 cups chopped, cooked, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup fat-free or low fat croutons
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Dressing:

• 1/3 cup plain non-fat yogurt, drained (or fat-free mayonnaise)
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp anchovy paste (optional)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 garlic clove, crushed 

Preparation: 

• Arrange torn Romaine lettuce in a big serving bowl
• Top with chicken, croutons and sprinkle with cheese
• Whisk dressing ingredients together and drizzle over salad
• Gently toss until combined
• Add freshly ground black pepper to taste

Serves 4.
