Caesar Salad with Whole-Grain Bread Croutons

There are few things that are better than a really well-made caesar salad. It is a classic salad that is served almost everywhere. I created this dressing to eliminate the oil, egg and dairy you find in most. I added a bit of ginger to the caesar salad for a little zing and I wanted to stay away from the high sodium of worcestershire sauce. I really enjoy this with thinly sliced whole-grain bread croutons and shaved radish.

I suggest making this caesar salad and putting it on the table for your friends and family to enjoy. Once they love it, then you can tell them its Killer Food and is oil and egg free…

If you are looking for a great way to have a caesar salad without using any addtional oils or animal products, this one is for you. It stores in the refrigerator for up to seven days easily. The dressing is garlicky and spicy. Be careful not to over “dress” your salad. No one likes a soggy salad.
