Smart Tips
-
Grill for Extra Flavor: Grill the chicken instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavor.
-
Homemade Croutons: Make croutons from scratch using day-old bread for a crunchy texture and better taste.
-
Dressing Choice: For the best flavor, opt for a homemade Caesar dressing or choose a high-quality store-bought version.
-
Anchovy Paste: Use anchovy paste to add depth to the dressing, but it's optional if you prefer a milder taste.
-
Lettuce Selection: Use fresh, crisp romaine lettuce for the base to hold up to the creamy dressing.
-
Balance of Ingredients: Don't overdress the salad to avoid wilting the lettuce; you can always serve extra dressing on the side.
-
Proper Cheese: Use freshly grated Parmesan for a superior taste and texture over pre-grated options.
-
Serving Temperature: Chicken can be served warm or at room temperature based on your preference.
