Chicken Caesar Salad

Hello Dear Friends,

Although the name of our recipe today is salad, it has main course qualities that will fill you with pleasure. It is often mixed in the menus of the cafes & restaurants we go to. caesar dressing saladI was amazed when I tasted it for the first time years ago, and was surprised to learn that it contains anchovies. Anchovy It took me a while to realize how something salty and heavily flavored on its own, like dried salted anchovies, could add flavor to the flavor of the sauce. It's just like when I learned that chicken breast dessert actually had chicken breast in it when I was a kid and stayed away from dessert for a few years :)

You can get anchovies from big supermarkets. It is sold in small or medium sized jars, and can be stored for a long time without spoiling since it is dried, salted and stored in oil.

Many variations of this sauce have been made, and even the creator of the salad is of Italian origin. Caesar Cardini And even the sauces your brother made had material differences. So some are anchovies and some are Worcestershire sauce uses. In fact, one of the ingredients of Worcestershire sauce is anchovies.

Thanks to the ingredients in this sauce, it becomes a kind of mayonnaise. Therefore, there is no mayonnaise in the original recipe.

Caesar salad is one of the must-haves. the croutons ie pieces of toasted bread. You can easily do this according to the recipe below.

While preparing the sauce, according to my encyclopedia and wiki, egg yolk is not used raw. Instead, the yolk of a very undercooked egg that is boiled in boiling water for 1 minute is taken. I think this was made to take a precaution against bacteria that may come from raw eggs. After all, if you keep the full time, you will not have any problems.

Finally, follow the recipe order I gave for the salad and use as much fresh and firm leafy lettuce as possible. This is because the thick sauce softens the greens in a very short time.
