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.

Use rotisserie chicken for speed, or top your salad with slices of freshly grilled skinless chicken breasts.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn
• 2 cups chopped, cooked, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup fat-free or low fat croutons
• 1/4 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.
