Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, fresh Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, finely chopped anchovy fillets, and ground pepper until well combined. This creamy dressing is the heart of the Caesar Salad and provides a rich, tangy flavor that perfectly complements the crisp lettuce.
-
Chill the Dressing:
- Cover the bowl containing the dressing and chill it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve the salad. Allowing the flavors to meld together while chilling enhances the taste and consistency of the dressing, ensuring a delicious dining experience.
-
Prepare the Salad Components:
- In a large bowl, toss together the torn Romaine lettuce leaves, crunchy croutons, and cooked chicken pieces. The combination of fresh greens, crispy croutons, and savory chicken creates a satisfying texture and adds protein to the salad, making it a wholesome meal option.
-
Assemble and Garnish:
- Once the salad components are mixed, drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. The creamy dressing should lightly coat each leaf of lettuce, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor.
- Garnish the salad with additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. These finishing touches elevate the presentation of the dish and enhance its overall taste.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the Caesar Salad to individual serving plates or bowls and serve immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, allowing the crispness of the lettuce and the creaminess of the dressing to shine through with every bite.
- Note: Any leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Simply give it a good stir before using it again to recombine any separated ingredients.
Whether served as a light lunch or a side dish at dinner, this Hellman’s Caesar Salad is sure to impress with its delicious flavors and effortless preparation. Enjoy the classic combination of creamy dressing, crisp lettuce, and savory toppings for a satisfying meal that’s ready in minutes! 🥗🍋
