About Caesar chicken salad

Caesar Chicken Salad is a flavorful dish originating from Italian-Mexican cuisine, credited to chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This salad combines crisp romaine lettuce, grilled or roasted chicken breast, shredded Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons, all tossed in a rich Caesar dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovies, and raw egg yolk. Packed with protein from the chicken and calcium from the Parmesan, it provides essential nutrients, while the romaine lettuce adds fiber and vitamins A and K. However, the dish can be high in sodium and unhealthy fats due to the dressing and croutons, depending on preparation choices. Opting for grilled chicken, a lighter dressing recipe, or whole-grain croutons improves its nutritional profile, making it a satisfying yet mindful choice for a balanced meal.
