Chicken Caesar Salad
2016-01-15 21:18:37
With the New Year ahead many of us have made our goals and eating healthy is one of my personal goals this year. I always try to eat healthy and salads are one of my favorite foods. My husband is on board this year and started a weight loss plan. So it just seems easier with no potato chips or junk food in my house, there is less temptation for me and I love it. Personally I find it hard not to eat them if they are around. So now that my pantry has a healthy selection of foods, I am totally pumped to eat and cook clean and lean. This recipe fits the bill and Caesar Salad is one of my family’s favorite salads, so for dinner tonight I bought a roasted chicken and made this delicious Caesar Salad loaded with chicken. I used my old stand-by Caesar dressing, which I have posted before, it is fabulous. I skip the egg, but you can add it in if you prefer egg in you Caesar Salad. Please let me know what you think.
