Notes
For a healthier version, try using Greek yogurt or avocado in the dressing. If avoiding raw eggs, consider using silken tofu or a mayo-based alternative for creaminess. Experiment with proteins such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for added nutrition. You can make homemade croutons easily and add spices for extra flavor. If desired, variations can include adding fresh herbs, changing the greens, or making a taco bowl version. Enjoy the process and feel free to get creative!
