Grilled Caesar Salad

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Made

Ingredients

  • Dressing
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 6-8 turns of a black-pepper mill
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Salad
  • 4 hearts of romaine
  • 2 English muffins, split
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup black olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill. Combine all the dressing ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse to blend. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil.

  2. Cut the romaine down the middle lengthwise, leaving the root end intact so the leaves hold together. Brush the romaine, English muffins, and chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, add the chicken and grill for 4-5 minutes per side until firm and caramelized. Remove the chicken and allow to rest.

  3. Place the lettuce and English muffins on the grill. Cook the lettuce for 1-2 minutes, just enough to lightly char and wilt the leaves. Cook the English muffins until brown and crispy.

  4. Slice the chicken into thin strips. Cut the muffins into bite-sized pieces. Arrange both, along with the olives and sundried tomatoes, over the individual lettuce halves. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with cheese.
