Healthy Caesar Salad for Two


In my version I use a raw egg yolk in the dressing, or a soft boiled 
egg (3 minutes) on top. For those who can't or won't eat undercooked 
eggs this is what I do. However I highly recommend you try that, at 
least the soft boiled egg unless your health prevents you.

If you do not add anchovies you are not having Caesar. You are having 
lemon and oil. Try it this way and I bet you will be pleasantly 
surprised. Then if you really don't like it leave it out. You're the 
one eating it after all. If you go that route just be sure to add more 
salt.

Today I chose grilled chicken but you can do whatever you like. Shrimp, 
fish, steak, etc. If I am having an egg on mine I add nothing else. No 
matter the direction you go it's all delicious!





Recipe:
3 cups romaine lettuce
1/4 cup croutons
1 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon
1 garlic clove minced
3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan (divided)
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. anchovy paste
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper

Mix Dijon, lemon, garlic, anchovy, 1 Tbsp. parmesan, salt and pepper. 
While whisking slowly add the oil until it is emulsified. Dress the 
salad making sure all the greens are coated. Top with remaining cheese 
and croutons. Serve on chilled plates or bowls.
