Description
Level up your lunch with this healthy Caesar Chicken Salad! Creamy yogurt dressing meets shredded chicken on crispy sourdough for the ultimate texture-and-flavor combo.
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon spicy Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Chicken Salad:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
- ½ cup finely diced red onion
- ½ cup finely diced celery
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
For Serving:
- Sourdough bread slices
- Lettuce leaves
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk yogurt, mayo, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, and garlic. Whisk in olive oil, then water (if needed) until pourable but still creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, celery, onion, parsley, and Parmesan. Add ½–⅔ of the dressing and toss until coated. Add more dressing to taste.
- On a warm toast, arrange the lettuce leaves, then pile the chicken Caesar mixture on top. Top with shaved Parmesan and black pepper and serve.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add a handful of crushed whole-grain croutons on top.
- If packing for lunch, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to keep the toasts crisp.
