Day 4 - Homemade Chicken Caesar Salad

One of my sisters' and my favorite meals growing up was mom's homemade Chicken Caesar Salad. Her dressing recipe was a MAJOR hit with us and throughout the summer we would probably eat it at least once a week.

The first time I made it for Mark he was hooked so we have enjoyed it frequently ever since! One of the secret ingredients is a coddled egg and since I am pregnant we have had to omit that. I have played around with the recipe and this what I have come up with:

1 garlic clove
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp lemon juice (or juice from a whole lemon)
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt & Pepper

Blend it all together then chill in the freezer

Romaine lettuce
2 chicken breasts sauted in garlic, salt & pepper (anything you like, really!)

Home made croutons:
2 heels of the bread loaf leftover in your freezer
Olive oil
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder

Mix it all altogether then toast in the oven

Mix everything together then serve the chicken over top of the salad! YUM!

Here are my pictures for today:

Voila! (Make sure you have some gum for later!)
