Consider this salad a recipe for glowing skin. More nutrient dense and less caloric than a traditional Caesar salad, this blend of detoxing and hydrating vegetables packs a serious anti-aging punch. Included in the dressing are anchovies, which are among the health and beauty seeker’s best kept secrets. One of the best bonues? They’re very high in the skin-firming nutrient DMAE and glow boosting Omega-3’s.
