Classic Caesar salad gets a protein boost from chicken strips. Hearty enough for a main meal. Do not skip the anchovy paste. It is a prime ingredient in Caesar salad dressing.

Prep Time: 10 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound romaine lettuce cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 12 ounces cooked chicken, cut into thin strips
  • Garlic croutons and Parmesan cheese curls for garnish

Preparation:

Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper in a large salad bowl. While constantly whisking, add olive oil in a steady stream. Continue to mix until salad dressing thickens.

Add lettuce and Parmesan cheese to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Divide into individual serving plates and top with cooked chicken strips.

Garnish Caesar salad with croutons and Parmesan cheese curls and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings
