About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

Ceasar Salad-020I have never liked croutons on Caesar salad.  I never saw the point of those overly crunchy, salty, chunks of stale bread.  So, making a Paleo Caesar salad without them was easy:  some homemade bacon bits add a lovely little bit of salty crunch and add alot more flavor than stale bread ever does!  My big challenge with this salad was making a creamy dressing flavorful enough that you don’t miss the typical buttermilk or sour cream and parmesan cheese ingredients (although, if you follow a primal or lacto-Paleo diet, you could still top this salad with some coarse grated parmesan, but it isn’t necessary).  I had a very tough crowd to please in my husband, because Caesar salad is his all-time favorite.  But, I finally got it right.  This is delicious as a side dish or with grilled chicken or shrimp added to make it a dinner salad.  Serves 4-5 as a side salad or 2 as a dinner salad.
