Delicious Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Recipe for Date Night
Today we're all about a ridiculously delicious grilled chicken caesar salad. Don't be fooled by the salad part, you're gonna love this. On the heels of the much-loved one pan fajita recipe, we did people thanking us for doing something a little lighter but with no less flavor. We're starting by making our own croutons because they're super effing delicious and they look better. Then, we move on to making the dressing from scratch. It's a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, garlic, and shredded parmesan cheese. Your taste buds are already excited, right?
