Cooking Instructions
A light, protein-packed twist on the classic Caesar salad.
1. Prepare the Creamy Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped anchovies until smooth.
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste.
Chill: Keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to plate to keep the flavors sharp.
2. Prep the Protein
If you aren't using pre-roasted chicken:
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Cook: Sear or roast until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Slice: Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
3. Prep the Greens
Rinse and thoroughly dry the lettuce and rocket (arugula).
Tear or chop the lettuce into easy, bite-sized pieces.
4. Toss & Combine
Initial Toss: In a large bowl, mix the lettuce and rocket with half of the dressing.
The Goods: Add the sliced chicken and bread croutons.
Final Coat: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
5. Serve & Garnish
Divide the salad among plates. For that professional finish, add:
A fresh grind of black pepper.
A generous sprinkle of parmesan shavings.
