Caesar salad is a classic for a reason. While we love the simplicity of the original, what we love even more is finding new and exciting ways to optimize it for our clean-eating goals. So we’ve amped it up with Santa Fe-inspired salmon (check that ancho pepper spicing!), roasted butternut squash, crunchy pepitas and a shot of lime to round out the flavours. One thing we haven’t changed is our classic Caesar dressing. Because some things—especially creamy, garlicky, salty things—are sacred.

Preparation
Roast the squash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the squash with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 16 min., until browned and tender
Mise en place
Meanwhile, quarter the lime. Roughly chop the lettuce. Medium-dice the tomato. In a large bowl, make the dressing by combining the juice of up to ½ the lime wedges, the vinaigrette, ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
Cook the salmon
Pat the salmon dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the salmon* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned and cooked as desired.
Make the salad & serve
To the bowl of dressing, add the lettuce, squash and tomato; toss well. Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the salmon and pepitas. Garnish with the remaining lime wedges. Bon appétit!
