WHAT GOES WITH CAESAR CHICKEN SALAD
Do I need to serve a side dish with a Caesar Chicken Salad?
Should I provide a Starter?
Is a Chicken Salad enough as a main course?
​
The answer is that a Chicken Salad is the perfect meal to serve as a Casual Dinner with friends. You both enjoy the company of each other's and the meal is an excuse for a get together.
Your friends will not go hungry provide that you make a generous helping for everyone. Increase the recipe and enjoy the left over for the next day. It is always easier to increase the ingredients for one dish than to have to make two separate dishes.
Choose your season: It is a great dish for a summer evening but may not be so welcome in a freezing winter night.
Perfect also if you haven't got time for cooking; buy a ready made rotisserie chicken, get fresh ingredients and your salad will be enjoyed by everyone.
If you want your Caesar Salad to be really, really great; I highly recommend that you make your own Croutons to go with it.

To me the homemade Croutons is what makes the difference to this salad. If you have never made them, I urge you to try. I am sure that once you have made your own, you will never go back to the bought variety. Make double or triple quantity as you can freeze the croutons in a plastic bag and just warm them up when needed.
​
Indulge your friends with a rich dessert. Tiramisu is easy to make, can be made a day before and just retrieve it from the fridge before serving.
If Tiramisu is not your thing, make your favourite dessert or check the other Dessert Recipes as any dessert is suitable to finish of this meal.

MENU WITH CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD:
A Chicken Salad as a Main Course
A Tiramisu for Dessert
You may want to try to make this Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake while your friends are with you, it is so easy and completely shatters the myth of the cake having to rise for half an hour in the oven.
A great menu to serve on a summer evening for a casual dinner with friends.
​
The Chicken Caesar Salad is an all in one dish, a mixture of lettuce, cold chicken, hard boiled eggs and croutons. There is a debate if one should add anchovies or not. Prepare it before your guest arrive and you will just have to bring it to the table.
​
The idea is to serve a healthy, fresh and easy meal and enjoy the company of your friends.
An Italian Dessert, Tiramisu which means Pick Me Up in Italian will be more than welcome. You could add a plate with fresh fruit in case some of your friends are on a diet.
