The best part? The Caesar-ish Dressing, which is egg- and-dairy-free, but still creamy and flavorful enough to make you think you're eating a salad with a Caesar dressing.

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

GUY'S CHOP CHOP BREAD SALAD



Guy's Chop Chop Bread Salad image

Guy Fieri was making this salad on his Big Bite show one day and it looked really tasty, so I gave it a try with some modifications. Note: Since this recipe contains bread, it will turn soggy if not consumed right away. If you like, you could serve the bread on the side and let the diners help themselves. Also helps should there be any leftovers.

CHOPPED SALAD



Chopped Salad image

A good chopped salad is a buoyant mix of different textures (creamy, crisp, crunchy, juicy), a range of colors, and sweet, salty and tangy flavors. This one has it all, in just the right proportions. You can gather all the ingredients in advance, including cooking the bacon and the eggs. But don't toss everything together until just before serving - and, preferably, do so at the table for maximum impact.

Time 20m

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
