Vegetarian Caesar Salad
This Recipe Is:
It’s a salad —how could it not be vegetarian? Well, Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it — therefore it isn’t vegetarian. The consistency of this dressing is more like a vinaigrette, but you can add more low-fat mayo if you want it thicker. You can find vegetarian Worcestershire sauce in places like Whole Foods. It’s also great in Bloody Marys.
