Chicken Bacon Caesar Salad
Chicken Bacon Caesar Salad is loaded with flavor! Beginning with the crispy bacon pieces and chicken cooked in some of the bacon grease. There are fresh tomatoes and crunchy croutons added over top a bed of Romaine lettuce. A nutty Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over top as well as in a creamy dressing of anchovies, Worcestershire and lemon juice blended with Greek yogurt and olive oil. The finishing touch are some Great Day Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs pre-cooked and ready to toss on the salad with their creamy centers.
Yogurt Based Caesar Dressing
A classic Caesar dressing is made of anchovies, garlic, mustard and raw egg yolk. It is a simple dressing that is delicious and perfect but today I wanted to create an eggless Caesar dressing with the swap of Greek yogurt and it really works! The base is the same with anchovy and garlic. Salt, olive oil, Worcestershire, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and plain Greek yogurt is then added. This dressing is super flavorful, thick and creamy.
Tips & Tricks
Save Time
This meal can be on the table in less than 25 minutes. You just need to multi-task and get the bacon cooking ASAP. Followed by the chicken. While the bacon and chicken cooks, wash the produce, dice what needs to be diced and prepare the dressing. The Great Day Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs also help save time without the need to boil and peel any eggs.

Absolutely!
I love a good salad, especially a dressed up Caesar salad!
Oh my gosh, I’m so picky about my salads and this looks so good, I saved it for later! I usually make one similar but use blue cheese crumbles instead of Parmesan cheese. Yum!
Blue cheese sounds amazing too.
Caesar salad is my all time favorite! Even better with bacon!
For sure.
