Ingredients:
1/4 cup fruity olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 Tablespoon mayonnaise (or 1 egg)
1 Serrano pepper, stemmed and seeds removed, roughly shopped
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 grilled chicken breasts, thinly sliced (I just sprinkled some Ms. Dash on two boneless, skinless breasts and grilled)
4-5 cups romaine lettuce, torn or chopped
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1 Roma tomato, chopped or sliced
croutons (homemade or store bought)
Directions:
In a food processor, add the olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire, mayonnaise, Serrano, lime zest and salt. Process one full minute. Season with more salt if needed and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, about 1 tablespoon of the dressing and half the cheese. Toss to coat and then split evenly between two plates. Top with sliced chicken, remaining cheese and tomato. Drizzle with remaining dressing and top with croutons. Enjoy!

It would be hard to choose between this and the Greek one - both sound outstanding. Lea Ann has never steered me wrong.
ReplyDeletevery nice, Jenn! I have been playing with spicy dressing ideas lately too. This one sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteControversy: raw egg and/or anchovy in Caesar salad? I skip the raw egg and use a splash of nam pla (fish sauce) to give a hint of the anchovy concept. This all sounds pretty healthy.
ReplyDeletethat looks great to me. The chicken is flawlessly grilled, by appearance.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really tasty twist to the regular Caesar salad. Salad is always tastier when topped with yummy chicken :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds awesome! I am loving all of your salads.
