Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken
Hail to the Chef! Chef Caesar Cardini that is. He created this classic American salad back in 1924 when his restaurant was running out of food. As Chef Cardini was low on supplies, his salad consisted of only Romaine lettuce, anchovies and croutons. However, since I’m usually not running low on groceries when I make it, I add a few additional items to make it even more refreshing. The dressing’s what makes this salad so great and this eggless Caesar Dressing will not disappoint.
I could live on this salad during the summer months. Buon Appetito!
This video will talk you through the preparation.
