Grilled Chicken Caesar (Light)

By swapping the heavy mayonnaise-based dressing with high-protein Greek yogurt and omitting the croutons, we keep the classic Caesar creaminess and crunch with a fraction of the fat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and half of the grated parmesan until smooth to create the dressing.

   

3. Toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the yogurt dressing in a large bowl, top with sliced grilled chicken, and garnish with the remaining parmesan before serving.
