SOUTHWESTERN CAESAR SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE DRESSING
I love the creamy, smokey flavor of this dressing. Sometimes I add grilled chicken or other meat or fish to this salad for a complete meal. My husband kept saying how good the salad was when he tried it for the first time...and so will you.

SOUTHWESTERN CAESAR SALAD WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE DRESSING
While I was at a hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, I remember pestering a chef for this recipe. It's been so many trips ago, though, I can't remember what hotel I was at. Nevertheless, this salad is a nice twist on the usual Ceasar.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook properly.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to add flavor to the chicken. Be sure to use a marinade that you like the taste of.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender.

Southwestern Caesar salad with creamy chipotle dressing is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal.
