Mm, there’s nothing better than a nice Caesar salad with bacon and parmesan cheese. Even though Caesar salad is still a salad, it is known to be unhealthy because of its high-fat ingredients. Don’t let that stop you this New Year and try Randy Feltis’ version of Caesar dressing that contains less cream and less fat than the usual.
Old-school eggless Caesar salad
Ingredients
