Directions

Who doesn’t love Caesar salad?! This souped up version packs in more nutrient dense greens and includes a super grain instead of croutons. Of course, no one would complain if you added croutons to this salad too. The dressing is super easy too. Once you learn how to make this cheater’s Caesar dressing, you’ll never buy another bottle again!

  1. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Thin with water, if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, kale, baby spinach, apple, cucumber and black olives. Add enough dressing to coat salad. Once you’re satisfied with the amount of dressing on your salad, give it a squeeze lemon juice and toss. Finish with parmesan and amaranth.

 

RECIPE NOTES
To pop amaranth, heat a large pot on medium-heat. Add 1 tbsp of amaranth seed and jostle pot to spread evenly. It should take 10 to 15 seconds for seeds to pop, if they don’t pot is not hot enough. Once they pop, place in sieve to separate from uncooked seeds. Repeat until you have enough amaranth. Detailed instructions can be found: https://greenhealthycooking.com/poppedamaranth/
