Caesar Salad with Chicken
This is an easy and flavorful no-cook meal. Parmesan crisps add crunch. The dressing is a great way to sneak anchovies into a meal, for those who do not like them whole and emphasized. Simply leave out the Parmesan to make this dairy-free.

- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste 6-8 anchovy fillets (or from a tube of anchovy paste)
- 2 yolks
- 1 garlic clove minced, then mashed with the back of a spoon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce

Salad

- 1 pound grilled chicken
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan
- 1/4 cup Parmesan crisps broken into pieces (provides crunch, optional)
Instructions
- Combine anchovies, yolks, garlic, lemon, and fish sauce together in a small jar or container that barely fits the head of an immersion blender. Blend until smooth then with the blender running, slowly stream the avocado oil in until combined and an emulsification is formed. Finally, whisk in the olive oil and grated Parmesan at the end.
- Toss the romaine with the dressing, top with chicken and garnish with more shaved Parmesan and Parmesan crisps, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
The dressing will keep one day in the refrigerator.
