Tangy, savory, and creamy. Without its distinctive dressing, Caesar salad would be a pile of romaine with parmesan. The dressing – essentially a flavorful homemade mayo – makes the dish.
If you’re feeling slightly skeptical about tiny fish in your salad, not to worry. They’re blended into your dressing without any visible hint of their presence. And there’s a reason Caesar salad is a classic; anchovies give it that salty, meaty taste that we all know and love.
Along with shavings of parmesan cheese and black pepper, we’ve added shredded chicken – making it the perfect way to use up leftover Slow Cooker Roast Chicken With Lemon And Garlic .
