Caesar Salad is one of the most famous salads in the world. It was created by an Italian chef named Caesar Cardini in the early 1920s and has since become a staple in American cuisine. The salad is named after its creator and is traditionally prepared with romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, a boiled egg, and anchovy paste. However, this particular version of Caesar Salad is slightly altered and is based on the 21 Day Wonder Diet. It's a healthy, low-calorie version of the famous salad that uses yogurt instead of mayonnaise for the dressing and is served with crispy prosciutto and rye croutons instead of the traditional bread croutons. This creative twist makes the salad more flavorful and textures.

2.Tear the bread into small pieces and put on an oven tray.
3.Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the bread is crisp.

8.Place the cos lettuce leaves in a bowl. Drizzle with the dressing. Top with the croutons, prosciutto and egg slices.
9.Serve immediately.
