Healthy Caesar Salad

Healthy Caesar Salad Recipe

This healthy, mayonnaise-free version of a Caesar salad is packed with flavour and important health-promoting nutrients. Chicken is a great source of protein to provide important amino acids for growth and repair of the body. Lettuce is a heart-friendly green leafy vegie — the darker green, the better. Lettuce is full of fibre to help keep cholesterol levels low, and vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid, which are important nutrients needed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
