This is a wonderful low-fat alternative to a traditional Caesar dressing!

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or use cooked leftover chicken)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
  • 8c torn Romaine lettuce
  • Dressing:
  • ½c 0% fat unsweetened yoghurt (we prefer Greek)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 1½ tsp grainy mustard
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch each salt and pepper
  • 1/3c grated parmesan cheese

Method:

  1. Brush chicken with 1 tbsp of the oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yoghurt, oil, lemon juice, anchovies, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper; stir in all but 2 tbsp of the cheese.
  3. Toss the dressing with the lettuce and chicken, and serve topped with the remaining cheese.

This dressing can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Makes 4 servings; count each serving as 3 protein and 1 fat.
