If you love chopped meal salads this Grilled Greens Chicken Caesar Chopped Salad is for you! A healthy caesar salad made with grilled romaine, grilled chicken breast, sweet tomatoes, homemade croutons, and zesty Greek yogurt caesar dressing.
Happy July 4th weekend! I hope you are enjoying fun time with family and friends and spending some time outdoors. I wanted to stop in today to share one of my favorite ways to eat greens….
GRILLED!
Grilled romaine lettuce is one of the best greens to grill because they hold up on the grill and get nice grill marks. It’s especially delicious in a meal salad with protein like this chicken caesar.
To keep it simple, this Caesar dressing is made out of Greek yogurt and holds the anchovies. Just whisk together greek yogurt, lemon juice, Worcestershire, parm and salt and pepper to taste. Easy peasy.
This Grilled Greens Chicken Caesar Chopped Salad is extra yum thanks to the HOMEMADE SOURDOUGH CROUTONS… extra garlicky, extra crispy, and oh-so-tasty.
If you’re out BBQ-ing today throw some greens on the grill. Grilling greens adds a smoky flavor and makes the salad more like comfort food.
The best part is it only takes a few minutes to grill romaine with little prep work. Grilled greens will totally up your grilling game and are sure to impress.
