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.

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoon canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chilies (in adobo sauce)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 large head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained
4 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, chicken broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, chipotles and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Mix lettuce, tomatoes and corn in large bowl. Add dressing and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and serve.

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.

Conclusion:

Southwestern Caesar salad with creamy chipotle dressing is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of the grilled chicken, the crisp romaine lettuce, the creamy chipotle dressing, and the flavorful toppings makes this salad a real winner. If you are looking for a new salad to add to your recipe repertoire, this is one that you will definitely want to try.
