Caesar Salad with Chicken and Crispy Bacon

Classic crowd-pleaser that works for both lunch and dinner. The homemade dressing makes all the difference.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brush chicken fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry the chicken on both sides until cooked through.

  2. 2

    Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 190°C until golden and crispy. Let drain on paper towels and break into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Make the dressing by finely chopping garlic and anchovies, mashing them together with a fork.

  4. 4

    Whisk together egg yolks, mustard, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl. Add oil bit by bit while whisking - the dressing should become thick like mayonnaise.

  5. 5

    Stir in yogurt and season with salt and cayenne pepper. If desired, mix in a small handful of grated parmesan into the dressing.

  6. 6

    Fry bread pieces until golden and crispy in butter, then add pressed garlic.

  7. 7

    Tear lettuce leaves apart and arrange on a large platter.

  8. 8

    Slice chicken thinly and distribute chicken slices and bacon over the lettuce. Drizzle with some dressing and sprinkle with grated parmesan.

  9. 9

    Finally sprinkle with crispy bread pieces and garnish with chives. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
