Dressing Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Start by cooking the **chicken breast**. You can either grill, bake, or pan-fry it until it’s cooked through. Once done, let it rest and then slice it into thin pieces.
Step 2
For the croutons, **take your bread** and cut it into small cubes. Heat some oil in a pan and **toast the bread cubes** until they are golden brown and crispy. This will add a delightful crunch to your salad.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the **mayonnaise, soy sauce, mustard, khmeli-suneli seasoning**, and minced **garlic**. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, **combine the Romaine lettuce** with the sliced chicken. Add the toasted croutons on top, then drizzle the freshly made dressing all over the salad. Finally, **shave some Parmesan cheese** over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 5
Give the salad a gentle toss to ensure everything is coated with the dressing. Serve immediately for the best texture. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or a light meal.
Servings
When it comes to serving your delicious Caesar salad, presentation is key! 🌟 Try
- On a beautiful platter: Layer your romaine leaves at the base, top with diced chicken, and drizzle your creamy dressing. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese to elevate its visual appeal!
- With crunchy garlic bread: Serve with a side of garlic bread or croutons for added crunch and flavor. This combination is perfect for an indulgent meal that satiates the senses.
- As a meal prep option: Portion individual servings into airtight containers for a week of delicious lunches. Just add the dressing before eating to keep everything fresh! 😊
Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for preparing your dressing and mixing the salad ingredients. Make sure it's big enough to accommodate all the components without spilling!
Use a non-stick skillet to pan-fry the chicken and create those nice golden-brown crusts. Remember to keep the heat medium to avoid burning.
A whisk is perfect for combining your dressing ingredients, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture that will coat your salad beautifully.

Variations
Looking for a gluten-free or vegan version? We've got you covered!
- For gluten-free: Simply swap out regular bread for gluten-free bread when making croutons. Ensure all your ingredients, especially sauces, are labeled gluten-free. You'll enjoy the same rich flavors without any worries! 🌾
- For vegan: Use grilled tofu or chickpeas in place of chicken for protein. Replace the mayonnaise in the dressing with a vegan alternative, and use nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor! This way, you can indulge in a salad that's both compassionate and delicious! 🥑
Faq
- What kind of chicken should I use for the Caesar salad?
Boneless, skinless chicken breast is the best choice for this salad, as it cooks quickly and remains tender. You could also use leftover rotisserie chicken for an even quicker option!
- Can I make the dressing ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, making the dressing a day in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
- How can I ensure my croutons are crispy?
Make sure to use stale or toasted bread for croutons, and coat them lightly in olive oil. Bake at a high temperature until golden brown, turning them halfway through for even crispiness.
- Is there a way to make this a low-calorie salad?
Yes! Opt for grilled chicken and a lighter dressing made with Greek yogurt. You’ll still get the creamy texture without the extra calories!
- How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container without the dressing. This keeps the greens fresh and crunchy. Add the dressing just before serving!
- What are some great toppings to add?
Aside from the classic Parmesan, consider toppings like avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, or even roasted chickpeas for an extra crunch and flavor boost!
