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?

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