Why do so many people love Caesar Salad so much? I know it is near the top of my favorite salads list. It’s amazing how so simple a salad can be so good. I think the secret to the best Caesar Salad is to use quality ingredients. It’s one of my favorite meals when I need a quick and easy meal because it takes under 30 minutes to pull together.
However, when I make Caesar Salad as a dinner entree it can be nice to make it “a little more” – a little more flavor, a little more hearty. Here is our favorite version of the Chicken Caesar Salad – Garlic Chicken Apple Caesar Salad. Have I told you I LOVE garlic? It’s a basic requirement for almost every savory dish in our house. I like to add the Caesar Dressing and croutons to each individual salad so I can better control the amount that ends up on each salad.
