Chicken Caesar Salad

Chicken Caesar Salad

Everyday

Chicken Caesar salad is a classic entrée combining crisp romaine lettuce, grilled chicken breast, Parmesan cheese, and garlicky Caesar dressing, typically topped with buttery croutons. While providing substantial protein from the chicken, its calorie density varies significantly based on dressing quantity and preparation – traditional recipes use egg yolk and anchovy in the emulsion. Originally created by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini, modern versions often modify ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, such as omitting croutons for gluten-free diets or using yogurt-based dressings for reduced fat content.
