Most of us love a good chicken Caesar salad. The creamy Caesar dressing, chicken, and fresh romaine lettuce can make us feel healthy and properly fueled.
At least, that's what a lot of us are made to think. The truth is, most Caesar salads can be pretty high in fat as well as carbs! For those of us with health and fitness goals, this isn't ideal.
Believe it or not, a typical Caesar salad can have up to 20g of fat and even more carbs from the croutons and dressing alone! This chicken Caesar salad is different.
I crafted a homemade Caesar dressing that has less than half the fat of a normal Caesar dressing. Of course, I also had to take out the croutons. The result: a healthy, macro-friendly version of chicken Caesar salad you can make for the week!
Crush your health and fitness goals with this awesome alternative to normal Caesar salad. Let's get into the recipe!
