Healthy Caesar Salad with Roasted Chickpea Croutons

Catherine
This Healthy Caesar Salad is made with crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy chickpea croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy, lightened up Caesar dressing made with Greek yogurt. It packs all the flavour you're used from a classic Caesar but with far less calories and fat than the traditional salad.
