At many U.S. restaurants, a seemingly harmless Caesar Salad can pack in nearly 1,000 calories. That’s what happens when we drench our greens with fatty, oily dressings and add calorie-dense ingredients like cheese, croutons, olives, avocados, and crispy wontons. Get all the deliciously tangy goodness of a Caesar but for about one-tenth the calories with our Pritikin Caesar Salad, always a hit in the dining room at the Pritikin Longevity Center.

Calabaza or calabaza squash, also known as the West Indian pumpkin, is a
pumpkin-like squash with a wonderfully rich sweet flavor and firm texture.
It is popular in the Caribbean as well as Central and South America, and is
often sold in the U.S. in Latin markets, already chopped into chunks. If you
can’t find calabaza, regular pumpkin is a fine substitute.
