Low Fat Caesar Salad

Low fat Caesar salad is the "healthier" version of the well known salad recipe.

I would say that even the "normal" Caesar salad is healthy too, but if you are watching what you eat, this low fat version of this favourite recipe is just what you want to have.

Have it on its own as a main dish, or as a side dish with something else. It's up to you.

By the way, did you know that the Caesar salad was named after the Mexican dude that invented it?

Ingredients:

1 tsp of crushed garlic

3 anchovies

2 tsp Dijon mustard

3 Tbsp safflower oil

1 egg

1 lemon (extract the juice)

2 tsp drained capers

4 cups of torn lettuce leaves

1/4 cup croutons

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese.

This is what you do

Spread the crushed garlic on the bottom of a large salad bowl, and add the anchovies, mashing them with a fork.

Then add the mustard and 2 teaspoons of oil.

Separate the egg, and add the yolk to the bowl. Gradually beat in the oil and continue beating till the mixture goes thick.

Next, beat in the lemon juice and stir the capers.

Add the lettuce leaves and pour vinegar over the leaves.

Add the croutons and toss. Soon after that, sprinkle the cheese on top, and serve it fresh.

You can have this delicious low fat Caesar salad with Rosemary Chicken if you want (but you'll have to take into account the calories and fat in the chicken).
