Fire fighter Jose Fuste’s grilled chicken Caesar salad is a favorite with members of the Montgomery County, MD Local 1664 at Fire Station 19 in Silver Spring. Unfortunately, it doesn’t favor the waistline with its high amounts of fat, sodium and calories.
We consulted with FoodFit.com Executive Chef Bonnie Moore, to make over this recipe. The new Caesar has about two-thirds the calories of the original and a quarter of the fat and sodium, but without sacrificing any of the great flavor or ease of cooking.
Chef Bonnie substituted a rich-tasting, simple homemade salad for bottled dressing, cut down on the croutons and the Parmesan cheese and made the portions smaller. The result: a delicious Caesar that is perfect for healthy firehouse eating.
