Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe

[bhella]

Hey everyone! Thought I’d share my favorite recipe for a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad—it’s perfect for a light yet satisfying meal. I think the char on the chicken really makes it pop, and homemade dressing? Total game-changer. Let me know if you try it or tweak it!

Ingredients:
For the salad:

• 2 romaine hearts, chopped
• 2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced (seasoned with salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika)
• 1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade—your call!)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the dressing:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2-3 anchovy fillets, minced (optional, but worth it!)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Season and grill the chicken until juicy and golden, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
2. Whisk together all the dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
3. In a large bowl, toss the romaine with half the dressing. Add the chicken, croutons, and Parmesan.
4. Drizzle the remaining dressing on top, toss lightly, and serve immediately.
   

This is my lazy-Sunday go-to. Would love to hear if you guys have any Caesar salad tips or twists—bacon bits, anyone?
