Simple and tasty Caesar Salad made with kale, homemade Caesar dressing, and topped with grilled chicken breast.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 bunch kale tough stems removed, and chopped
- 2 celery sticks thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Shaved parmesan
Dressing:
- 1 cup lite mayonnaise or plain yogurt
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 2 tsp anchovy paste
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Allow the chicken to sit on the counter for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk well all the dressing ingredients. Season the chicken with just a pinch of salt and pepper (remember, the dressing is salty too, so don't overseason it!).
- Lightly grease the grill with a bit of olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken breast until charred and no longer pink on the inside. Allow it to sit on a chopping board for 5 minutes, then slice it.
- Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, add the kale and 1/2 of the dressing. Massage the kale for a couple of minutes to tenderize the leaves.
- Top with grilled chicken, crunchy celery, shaved parmesan, and the remaining dressing. Toss and serve.
Notes
- Chicken: if using smaller-sized chicken breasts, then use 4 for 4 servings. If the chicken breast is large, slice them thinner in half to get 2 pieces from each breast.
- Use Light mayo or any plain yogurt. Greek works too
- Kale: be sure to remove the kale leaves from the stem. Do massage the kale with half of the dressing as instructed.
- If you don't like kale, you may use any of your favorite greens
- Anchovies: if you aren't too fond of anchovies, you can skip them.
- Swap the chicken with shrimp or any of your favorite proteins.
- You may use avocado oil in place of olive oil.
