It is fair to say, being a FatLad, salad wouldn’t be my first place to go when looking for a healthy meal. Yet I come back time and time again, to my Chicken Caesar Salad.

Why? Well it was something I first tried in a restaurant one day, because I was sick of the same old chicken dinners. Caesar Salad, although not very new , was new to me, and what a revelation it was!

So now I have made my own, semi-healthy version, using yogurt instead of mayo, in a bid to try and cut down the calories, but keep the taste.

So I guess Salad is my friend after all. —FatLadFood
