Healthy Recipes Healthy Salad Recipes Healthy Green Salad Recipes Healthy Caesar Salad Recipes Chicken Caesar Salad 5.0 (5) 5 Reviews This timeless chicken Caesar salad features a zesty dressing made with Greek-style yogurt. Our dressing calls for anchovy paste, which adds that signature savory flavor Caesar salad is known for. Any leftover anchovy paste can be used to enhance vinaigrettes, dips or sauces. You can use whole anchovies, if you prefer, but you’ll need to blend them or mash them with the flat side of a large chef’s knife before adding them to the dressing.

Chicken tenderloin is that fingerling-shaped piece of meat that sits under the breast and against the breastbone. They’re typically sold as “chicken tenders” in the meat section of the supermarket. And yes, they’re good for you. Chicken tenderloins are white meat and are very similar in nutritional value to chicken breast, according to the USDA. This means that they’re a great lean protein source and offer other nutrients, including choline and B vitamins. Is Romaine Lettuce Healthy? Romaine lettuce is a leafy green vegetable and, like other leafy greens, offers some impressive nutritional benefits. It’s an excellent source of vitamins A and K and a good source of folate. The nutrients in romaine lettuce have been shown to support bone, eye and skin health, as well as helping to reduce inflammation and risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. Tips from the Test Kitchen Can I Make My Own Croutons for This Recipe? Absolutely. A basic recipe for croutons includes only a handful of ingredients that are probably in your pantry already (extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and whole-wheat bread). And from there, you can add your favorite seasonings, if you wish. Can This Recipe Be Made Ahead? The dressing for this recipe can be made ahead and stored for up to four days in the fridge, but remember that the garlic will intensify in flavor the longer it's stored. You can refrigerate the chicken in the marinade overnight, if desired. Frequently Asked Questions What Is Anchovy Paste, and Where Do I Find It? Anchovy paste is an everyday staple in the cuisines of Italy, France and Spain. It’s made with ground anchovies, a saltwater fish that’s slender and silver, and vinegar or olive oil and spices are typically added. We use anchovy paste to build the flavor of our chicken Caesar salad recipe, but you can also enjoy it added to scrambled eggs, on toasted bread, set out with cheese and crackers, added to sautéed greens or roasted potatoes and more. You can find anchovy paste in jars or tubes at grocery and specialty stores, usually in the same aisle as tomato paste.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
