Helpful Tips About this Recipe

Makes 4 serving. Each serving 1 salad stick with dressing and cheese

Shopping Tips
I found the wooden (bamboo) skewers at the supermarket in the baking aisle where baking pans are displayed. They are also sold at stores such as Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Or you can use wooden chopsticks instead.
My 3 favorite store-bought dressings for these salad sticks are Girard’s Light Caesar Dressing, Cardini’s Light Caesar, or Cardini’s Light Caesar Vinaigrette. They are all delicious reduced-fat dressings. They’re sold in most large supermarket chains in the salad dressing aisle. I found them at Von’s/Safeway. Or, use your favorite light Caesar or Italian dressing.
