We all know that salads are healthy, and often the best item you can order off a menu when you’re trying to stay fit. Raw veggies contain extremely high amounts of vitamins and minerals, plus salads on their own are relatively low in fats and carbs. But salad dressings, on the other hand, can turn your healthy meal into a source of unwanted ingredients.
A salad is never complete without its dressing, because the dressing provides essential flavor and texture that you need in order to enjoy your meal. But many salad dressings are very bad for you, and there is one you should never buy again.
We're talking about creamy caesar dressing. It's a very popular choice because - let's face it - it's delicious. But it's also a very fattening choice.
A store-bought bottle of creamy caesar can have as much as 13 grams of fat per serving. Sure, this may flavor your salad - but with this much fat, the dressing practically negates the healthy choice of eating a salad in the first place.
Instead of the traditional creamy caesar, next time make your own iteration of the dressing with less cream. This recipe from Laughing Spatula is a great option, because it relies on fat-free Greek yogurt to get a creamy type of consistency.
