Summer it's the perfect time to try be more creative in the kitchen, because we have access to much more fruit and vegetables which are fresh, almost straight from the field. During summertime a lot of people are trying to avoid excess eating to look good on the beach.  My proposition for them will be this great salad which make you feel full and healthy for long hours. This salad can be your lunch, can be your picnic snack.

Homemade Caesar Salad! Homemade dressing! Perfect for any occasion!


Caesar Salad is very easy to make and gives your stomach a lot of pleasure;)
My version of the Caesar sauce is a little bit different because I didn't use an egg yolk. I don't think its necessary.
I always try to make food as easiest as possible.
I truly recommend this salad, not only because is easy but it taste great and the main star is the dressing!

Ingredients:

Serving 2- 3 people:

  • one large head Romaine lettuce (washed, separated)
  • 2 cups croutons ( I have made my own, just toast any bread you have)
  • 2 chicken breast ( season and fry on the pan)
  • freshly grated Parmesan
  • salt, pepper
Place the lettuce on a plate or in the bowl, add chicken breast(chopped or not as you like), Sprinkle with Parmesan and black pepper. Sprinkle with croutons. Drizzle with desired amount of  dressing;)

Dressing:

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
All the dressing ingredients just mix together and that's all. Enjoy!
