I made this Chicken Caesar Salad last night after I found a head of iceberg lettuce leftover from a delicious taco dinner we had on the weekend.
During the summer months our adult children love to come to the cottage on the weekends. Fortunately for M and I, they don’t come empty handed and bring supplies to make a breakfast and dinner for the crowd that shows up. Sometimes they leave mystery ingredients in our fridge. When I found the iceberg lettuce I couldn’t throw it out so I made this creamy Caesar dressing and served the salad with a breast of chicken.
I enjoyed the crispness and crunchiness of the iceberg lettuce and found it a refreshing change from romaine or leaf lettuce. When was the last time you bought an iceberg lettuce? I can’t remember when! I will certainly revisit this old standby when lettuce prices skyrocket in the winter months.
Let me know what you think and post your comments below.
