Caesar salad is one of our go to easy sides for dinner. Especially since my toddler now looooves it. Yes, you read that correctly. I have a toddler whose favorite food is caesar salad. No matter what else is on the table if she sees caesar salad she begs for it and then eats two plates full.
We eat this in the summer a lot topped with grilled chicken. In the winter I just bake the chicken breasts in a pyrex dish covered with aluminum foil. When I have bacon crumbles I always add them. On occasion, I’ll add sliced mushrooms and red onions too.
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese (I normally use the shelf stable powder variety)
1 tsp roasted garlic powder (or regular garlic powder)
1/4 tsp salt (add another 1/4 tsp if it needs it, the saltiness of parmesan cheese can vary)
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients. If you don’t need all the dressing immediately you can mix in a smaller bowl and then store in the fridge for about a week.
Salad Ingredients:
Romaine lettuce, washed and cup into bite size pieces
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Bacon crumbles (optional)
Cooked Chicken, cubed (optional)
Directions:
Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl if you are making a large salad. This makes enough dressing for a large bowl of salad using two romaine hearts or one large head of romaine. You can add the lettuce right to the mixing bowl and toss until it is covered with dressing. Then add the chicken and fold that in gently. Finally, sprinkle the bacon and extra cheese on top.
For a complete meal serve with my Braided Garlic Breadsticks or Cheddar Garlic Crisps.
