Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad a New Way image

While the flavor will be good using leftover cold chicken in this recipe, the key to the specialness of the recipe and the great vibrant flavor of the salad, is to use warm, just-cooked chicken breasts and to place the warm, cooked chicken pieces IN the dressing instead of placing the dressing over the chicken. This technique adds a lot of flavor and works well with most any beef or shrimp salad recipe using a vinaigrette-type (not creamy) dressing as well.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a success. The grilled chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the dressing is creamy and tangy. It's a great salad for a summer party or potluck.

I'm not a huge fan of Caesar salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The grilled chicken and romaine lettuce add a lot of flavor and texture, and the dressing is perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can grill the chicken and the romaine lettuce ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the dressing was creamy and tangy. I especially loved the addition of the grilled romaine lettuce - it added a nice smoky flavor to the salad.
