Chicken Caesar Salad is a classic dish with roots in Italian-American cuisine, believed to have been created in the 1920s. This popular salad features crisp Romaine lettuce, grilled or roasted chicken breast, crunchy croutons, and a generous topping of Parmesan cheese, all tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing made from lemon juice, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, and egg yolks. High in protein from the chicken and rich in vitamins like Vitamin A and K from the Romaine, it can be a nutritious choice. The olive oil in the dressing also provides heart-healthy fats. However, the salad’s calorie count can rise with the dressing's fat content, the cheese, and croutons, which are often fried or buttered. For a lighter option, consider reducing the dressing or using a yogurt-based alternative. Balanced and flavorful, Chicken Caesar Salad is both satisfying and versatile for any meal.
