Sometimes I am in the mood for a Traditional Caesar Salad. It’s always a nice option to have on the table. Of course it’s perfect as a side for any Italian main course, but you could also toss in some rotisserie chicken and make it a complete meal. Very versatile!

What’s in the Traditional Caesar Salad with a Gluten Free Option:

This salad is so simple: Chopped romaine, croutons and some grated parmesan…that’s it! 

Making This Salad Gluten Free: 

If you live gluten free, you can use GF croutons, there are so many good choices these days! You may also need GF Worchestershire sauce.

Caesar Dressing: Whisked Together in Minutes!

Caesar dressing is super easy to make: just whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, a little dijon mustard, parmesan and Worcestershire sauce (anchovy paste is optional) and toss with the greens. Chosen Foods makes healthy mayo in a variety of options. Choose from traditional, vegan, and keto options! Each contains healthy fats like avocado oil and coconut oil. Definitely a great choice!

Serving Suggestion:

Caesar salad is a great side salad for any main course. But I have a delicious suggestion: serve alongside my Easy Chicken Parmesan!
