Substitutions

  • Vegetarian: swap chicken for 2 boiled eggs and 200 g roasted chickpeas per serving, and use capers instead of anchovies with a vegetarian hard cheese.
  • Lower-carb: skip the croutons and add toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch (about −14 g carbs per serving).
  • Grill or barbecue the romaine halves for 1 minute a side for a smoky charred Caesar.
