Ingredients
Caesar dressing
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice from one lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard I like the brand Maille
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise best quality such as Hellmann's Real
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- ¼ teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salad ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts cut in strips
- 1 large romaine lettuce rinsed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese shaved or grated
- croutons
Instructions
- Make Caesar dressing by stirring all ingredients into a small mixing bowl.
- Place Romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded parmesan cheese and cooled croutons. Add cooked chicken breast strips to the salad. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss gently until the salad is evenly coated.
Notes
- Make the Caesar dressing up to a week ahead of time and keep it stored in the fridge in a sealed jar or bottle.
- Romaine or iceberg lettuce are traditionally used, but you can make this salad with baby spinach or arugula if you prefer.
- Don't add the dressing until you are ready to serve or the lettuce can wilt.
