Adding a protein to a salad is a great way to turn a side dish into a filling meal. Don’t like chicken? Try adding tofu, shrimp, or beans! This healthier take on a classic Caesar salad uses Greek yogurt instead of mayo to increase protein and decrease fat. Feel free to add extra vegetables to make this recipe more colorful.
