Caesar Salad with Sliced Chicken
It’s a holiday salad! Legend has it that chef Caesar Cardini created this classic American salad back in 1924 when his restaurant was running out of food. It is said that over a long July 4th weekend, with supplies running low, he started grabbing what he had left in the kitchen; lettuce stalks, garlic, eggs, Parmesan cheese and croutons. Voila! The Classic Caesar Salad was created out of necessity.
Tonight we’ll make the salad with Romaine lettuce, red bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and sweet onion. It’s topped with sliced Chick’n Strips and a delicious eggless Caesar Dressing. I also skip the croutons and serve it with fresh bread or toast. Buon Appetito!
This video will talk you through the preparation.
