caeser salad

A classic chicken salad recipe, featuring crunchy croutons and a creamy, garlic dressing. Ideal for lunch with friends

Chicken Caesar salad

ciabatta

olive oil

chicken breasts

garlic

anchovies

cheese

mayonnaise

tbsp white wine vinegar

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tear 1 medium ciabatta into big, ragged croutons or, if you prefer, cut with a bread knife. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and sprinkle over 2 tbsp olive oil.

Rub the oil into the bread and season with a little salt if you like (sea salt crystals are best for this). Bake for 8-10 mins, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.

Rub 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it’s hot enough) and leave for 4 mins.

Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it’s cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear.

Bash 1 garlic clove with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash 2 anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl.

Grate a handful of parmesan cheese and mix with the garlic, anchovies, 5 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp white wine vinegar. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt – if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.

Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear 1 large cos or romaine lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons.

Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.

Everyone needs a good Caesar Salad Dressing, and I am convinced you just found your new favourite recipe. This is a tried and true recipe that my family has been making for decades. It&#039;s rich, creamy, garlicky, zesty, and so delicious.

So this is on constant rotation in my house. Tonight I made it and added a handful(6ish medium to small leaves) of fresh basil and blended it in my bullet. There is a restaurant here that makes basil Cesar dressing that is ridiculous and this made it soooo close. Try it! It's amazing! Something to dip my pizza in another night. Yummmm

I made  this dressing for Mother's Day and I only used 1 bag of romaine lettuce.. Well baby just say they went out and bought more lettuce to make more salad. THIS RECIPE IS TRULY AMAZING. There Is no Caesar dressing that compares to this one. My family is extremely picky when it comes to Caesar dressing . 
If you haven’t tried this recipe you should!
Thank you for sharing!

This was delicious! Garlicky, just the right amount of lemon. Way better than the store bought stuff. Stepson and hubby both approved !

I’ve made so many Caesar dressing recipes and this one is definitely THE BEST!  Didn’t need to tweak it at all. Thank you for sharing!

Literally the best dressing ever!! I will never buy store bought again!!!

Made this dressing for side Caesar salads to have with a pasta dinner. It's so good that I invited a friend over for Chicken Caesar salads for lunch tomorrow! Really really good.

I will never buy another Caesar dressing again- wonderful punch of flavor and home made is always the BEST! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe ❤️

Best I've ever had! I love making my food from scratch so I can put my own lik spin on it and this is a perfect base. Personally I like more garlic, pepper, lemon, paste and parm but you can't go wrong with the recipe! Thank you!

Literally the best cease dressing ever . I didn’t find anchovy paste so I got anchovies and chopped up 3 ( I was a bit intimidated by them lol) but literally couldn’t notice them when I was eating the salad with the dressing :). I’m definitely going to be making it again but will try with Greek yogurt since I’m out of mayo lol
