There’s something about this salad that just feels like summer—light, bright, and bursting with flavor.

Some nights, I just can’t bring myself to turn on the stove. You know the kind—work ran late, the kids are restless, and I need dinner now, not in 45 minutes.

There’s something so comforting about a Caesar salad—but let’s be honest, most versions are drenched in creamy dressings that leave you feeling bloated instead of satisfied.
