Notes
- To make this salad vegetarian, leave out the chicken and use vegetarian alternatives to parmesan and Worcestershire sauce.
- Add some extra flavour by topping with chopped cooked bacon or even some avocado.
- If you are skipping the chicken, you can give this healthy caesar salad a protein boost with some slices of boiled egg.
- You can save some more calories by leaving our the croutons. But we like the crunch that it gives.
