It delivers a fantastic Caesar dressing and it doesn’t deliver extra calories! This is now in the regular rotation for my family! It is super light and in the summer, we love this as a lunch salad or a main salad and I can add in some grilled chicken and we are set!
My family also loves a little kick in our food, so add in a roasted Poblano Pepper and we are singing, let’s eat!
