How to Make Healthy Caesar Salad
- Rinse 1 large head of romaine lettuce thoroughly.
- Cut the romaine into bite-sized pieces.
- Thoroughly dry the lettuce. Use a salad spinner for best results to remove excess moisture and prevent a watery dressing.
- In a blender, combine 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 2 anchovy fillets (packed in oil, drained), and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Blend for 1-2 minutes for a smooth dressing.
- In a large bowl, toss the romaine lettuce with the desired amount of dressing.
- Add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (optional) and toss again.
- Serve immediately. Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
