Ingredients
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced, peeled, divided)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (full fat)
- 3 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or more to taste)
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Chicken Caesar Salad Ingredients
- 3-4 romaine lettuce hearts washed and torn into bite-size pieces, washed
- 1-2 cups garlic croutons see post above for the recipe, homemade
- 3-4 chicken breast Cooked and diced / chopped
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese flakes
- lemon juice fresh, to top if desired
Instructions
How to Make the Caesar Salad Dressing
- Combine all of the ingredients into a container that you can use an immersion or hand blender in to mix the ingredients. Alternatively, you can place this all in your blender.
- Process and blend all of the ingredients together, adding in more garlic and lemon to taste if you want. (I am Ukrainian so there is always room for more garlic!) Set aside.
Cup of Yum
Assembling the Chicken Caesar Salad
- Place the lettuce in a large bowl.
- Toss with the dressing until the lettuce is coated completely.
- Top with the chicken, croutons and the Parmesan. I do NOT mix it in because as you know, they all go to the very bottom!
- Right before serving, mix the toppings into the top layer of lettuce, not the bottom, just slightly so that you have a layer of toppings for everyone to dig into.
Notes
- This is NOT the traditional Caesar salad as that one uses egg yolks and oil as the base, not mayo. This however is my VERY favorite Caesar salad!
