I’ll admit that the croutons aren’t exactly a pillar of good health, but this easy Caesar salad is otherwise a total winner on the calorie front. Plus, romaine (or “cos”) lettuce is the best type of lettuce you can eat! And yes, you don’t really need a recipe in order to make a salad, but this one is really more about the dressing.

Caesar Salad

(Takes 15 minutes, Serves 2-3)

Method

  1. Add the garlic, chopped anchovies, and some freshly cracked black pepper to a mortar and pestle. Mash them together until you’ve formed a paste.
  2. In a bowl, combine the paste with the greek yoghurt.
  3. Add everything a bowl, and toss.
  4. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 1-2 anchoives, chopped (for the dressing)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp of plain greek yoghurt
  • 2 hearts of romaine lettuce, chopped lengthways
  • 2-3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced
  • Anchoives (for the salad, optional)
  • 1 chicken breast, fried and chopped (optional)
  • 2 rashers bacon, fried and diced (optional)
  • Croutons (optional)
