Lazy Chicken Caesar Salad
Caesar salads are my absolute favorite but that dressing can get complicated. I don’t always have anchovies lying around. This recipe is a savior when you need to get dinner on the table in a hot minute. Cleary one can do the extra few steps and make a regular Caesar salad but why not have this little gem handy when you’re hungry and in a pinch for time?
The simplicity is what makes this dish so great. Don’t forget to season your chicken pieces once you’ve chopped them up. You can sub in any protein you want for this salad, like chickpeas, quinoa, steak, salmon, tofu, whatever works for you.
The dressing is also all on you. If you like it really lemony, add more! I held back on it and added some honey to offset the tang. I tend to lean in that direction overall with my recipes. But if you prefer more tang, get IT! I alway always suggest tasting your dressing and adjusting as you go with the sweet, salt, etc.
