Caesar salad is a popular dish in my house. The lovely chicken with different dressings and vegetables give it different ways to eat. Anchovies are not popular in this house, so I never use them, and I tend to use the same sort of things to make it. I think there are dozens of caesar salad recipes, and I am convinced they all depend on the type of caesar salad dressing recipe.

| Allergy | Egg |
| Meal type | Salad |
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 Medium Lettuce (Washed.)
- 500g Tomberries or Cherry Tomatoes (Washed)
- 200g Croutons (Home Made, or Bought)
- 20g Parmesan (For shavings, or you can buy them ready to use.)
- 1 Medium Chicken. (Pre- Cooked, with chicken diced.)
Caesar Salad Dressing
- 1 clove Garlic (Crushed)
- 2 teaspoons Parmesan (Ground or grated.)
- 4 - 5 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 Medium Chive (Finely chopped.)
Caesar Salad Dressing (Optional)
- 1-2 tablespoon White wine vinegar (Use if the dressing is too thick to pour.)
- 1 teaspoon Peppercorn (Ground, to taste.)
Note
Home made or bought dressing is fine.
It’s also nice with a few bits of cooked bacon added.
Tesco sell parmesan shavings in small pots which are perfect, but they do work out expensive that way I think
Method
| Salad | |
| Step 1. | Wash and make a bed with the lettuce. |
| Step 2. | Simply sprinkle on the chicken, croutons and parmesan shavings. |
| Caesar Salad Dressing | |
| Step 3. | I was lazy and used a pre-bought, but if you don’t have a dressing to hand, make one. I wish I had made mine as the bought one was too vinegary for my taste. |
| Step 4. | Crush a garlic clove (or use ground garlic if you don’t have any). |
| Step 5. | Add two teaspoons of ground parmesan or 10g grated parmesan. If you like strong cheese, you can up this to double. |
| Step 6. | Mix it into 4 – 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. |
| Step 7. | Add the finely chopped chives. |
| Step 8. | Grind a teaspoon of peppercorns into the dressing. |
| Step 9. | Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar until the dressing is pourable. |
| Step 10. | Pour dressing over salad. |

| Step 11. | Add tomatoes or tomberries to the top of the salad. |
