If you thought this salad was off limits because it's loaded with fat and calories, think again: Our slimmed down version goes easy on the oil, cheese and portion size. Using a blender to whip together the dressing, means you can have the classic fave ready to serve in about 15 minutes. Leave out the anchovies from the dressing if you don't care for them. It will still have its characteristic salty-tangy flavour. Serve it alongside your favorite main dish pasta or with a steak and potato. Or make it a meal and top it with some grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp.
