Ingredients
Homemade sourdough croutons (makes enough for 2 salads)
- 1 sourdough bread large slice
- olive oil spray form
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp parsley or dried, fresh chopped
To assemble each salad (makes 1 salad; make as many as you wish)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce use any greens of choice, chopped
- 2 cups kale use any greens of choice, chopped
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese shaved
- 1/2 cup chicken 70g), any cooked chicken see, grilled, bites
- 2 Tbsp caesar dressing 34g) or store-bought (I like Ken's lite or Bolthouse Farms, light
- sourdough crouton homemade
- gherkin optional, sweet baby
Instructions
- Start by preparing the homemade caesar salad dressing (skip this step if you're using store-bought).
- And if you need to prepare the chicken, do that too. See here for my favorite pairings!
- For the croutons: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut bread into small cubes. Add to baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parsley. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy (they'll crisp up more as they cool).
- Assemble salad: Add greens to a bowl or meal prep container. Add the parmesan and chicken over top. If serving immediately, add the dressing and croutons and toss together to combine. If meal prepping, store dressing and croutons separate and mix together when ready to serve. I like these 2-oz. disposable cups for dressing when on the go.

Notes
- To make gluten-free: use gluten-free bread.
- TIP! If serving immediately, or for a crowd, use a salad spinner or take some time to massage the greens. Greens are always 100x better when they are appropriately dressed!
