Broccoli with Caesar Dressing
Caesar dressing usually features
a raw egg, along with plenty of oil. To avoid
fat, not to mention potentially harmful bacteria, we based our version on
tofu thinned with chicken broth. A bonus: The tofu provides a boost
of protein,
not pure fat. It is also a good salad dressing for greens.
