Cookin’ Greens Caesar Salad

Caesar salads are one of our favourite types of salad for the summer time.

Top your salad with a skewer of grilled shrimp or chicken and you have yourself a meal- finish it off with a zesty squeeze of lemon which not only enhances the flavours of the dish but allows your body to absorb the calcium in the greens and iron in your meat!
