Caesar Chicken Salad
When you add chicken to traditional Caesar salad, it turns into an easy-to-prepare main dish. Serve with crusty bread.
Ingredients
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil
-
2 cups cubed French bread
-
1/4 cup salad oil
-
1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
-
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 2 anchovy fillets
-
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
6 cups torn romaine
-
2 cups cubed cooked chicken (10 ounces)
-
4 green onions, bias sliced
-
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
-
Coarsely ground pepper
Directions
1.
For garlic croutons, in a medium skillet over medium heat cook garlic in the 2 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil just until golden. Add cubed French bread, stirring to coat evenly. Transfer bread cubes to a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 300 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Stir. Bake about 5 minutes more or until the cubes are dry and crisp.
2.
For dressing, in a blender container combine the 1/4 cup salad oil, egg product, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and blend until smooth.
3.
In a large salad bowl combine romaine, chicken, green onions, Parmesan cheese, and garlic croutons. Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss gently and serve immediately. Pass coarsely ground pepper. Makes 6 servings.
