Healthier Caesar Salad

Love Caesar salad but are watching your waistline? This recipe still includes Parmesan cheese, garlic croutons, lemon garlic dressing! This recipe calls for grilled kale, but if you don’t want to spend the time grilling it, using raw kale works too. Just massage the dressing in to reduce the bitterness of the leafy green!
