    ingredients & substitutions

    Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

    Gluten-free pizza crusts are a good option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. They are also a good choice for people who are trying to reduce their gluten intake.

    If you don’t have a gluten-free pizza crust for this caesar salad pizza, you can make your own using a gluten-free flour pizza dough mix or a frozen gluten free dough.

    Fat-Free Mozzarella Cheese

    Taste: Fat-free mozzarella cheese has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. It is a good option for people who are trying to reduce their fat intake.

    If you don’t have fat-free mozzarella cheese, you can use regular or low fat mozzarella cheese.

    Garlic Powder

    Garlic powder is a good source of antioxidants and vitamins.

    If you don’t have garlic powder, you can use fresh garlic for this caesar salad pizza. However, be sure to mince the garlic finely before using it.

    Romaine Lettuce

    Romaine lettuce has a mild and slightly crunchy flavor. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it is low in calories. Romaine lettuce is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K. It is also a good source of fiber.

    If you don’t have romaine lettuce, you can use another type of lettuce, such as iceberg lettuce or spring mix for this caesar salad pizza.

    Grilled Chicken

    Grilled chicken is a good source of protein, niacin, and selenium. It is also a low-fat and low-calorie food.

    If you don’t have grilled chicken, you can use any cooked chicken you have on hand, such as rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from another meal. If you are vegetarian you can just skip the chicken.

    Caesar Salad Dressing

    Caesar salad dressing has a creamy and tangy flavor. It is typically made with anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard.
