Chicken Caesar Salad with Yoghurt Dressing
This is a wonderful higher protein alternative to a traditional Caesar dressing!
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or use cooked leftover chicken)
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp each salt and pepper
8c torn Romaine lettuce
Dressing:
½c unsweetened yoghurt (we prefer Greek)
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 anchovy fillets, minced
1½ tsp grainy mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
Pinch each salt and pepper
1/3c grated parmesan cheese
Method:
Brush chicken with 1 tbsp of the oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a large bowl, whisk together yoghurt, oil, lemon juice, anchovies, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper; stir in all but 2 tbsp of the cheese.
Toss the dressing with the lettuce and chicken, and serve topped with the remaining cheese.
This dressing can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Makes 4 servings; count each serving as 3 protein and 1 fat.
