Ingredients
Salad
- 4 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken breast (pulled into bite-size chunks)
- ½ cup cucumber (sliced into coins)
- ¼ cup watermelon radish (thinly sliced)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Dressing
- ⅓ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano + 2 tablespoons thinly sliced Parmigiano Reggiano
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 5 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup parsley (plus a few extra leaves for finishing)
- ⅓ cup basil (plus a few extra leaves for finishing)
- ¼ cup dill (plus a few extra leaves for finishing)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, fresh lemon juice, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, and anchovy fillets. Process for 15 to 20 seconds until ingredients are well blended.
- Incorporate herbs and yogurt: Add the extra virgin olive oil, fat-free Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, and basil to the food processor. Continue processing for an additional 15 to 30 seconds until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Assemble the salad: Place the chopped romaine lettuce as the base in serving bowls or plates. Top with pulled rotisserie chicken chunks, cucumber coins, and thinly sliced watermelon radish.
- Dress and garnish: Drizzle the prepared Green Goddess Caesar dressing evenly over the salad. Finish by garnishing with extra parsley, basil, and dill leaves, thin slices of Parmigiano Reggiano, and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and great flavor, but cooked chicken breast can be used as well.
- Adjust anchovy quantity according to taste preference or omit for a milder dressing.
- For a richer dressing, substitute full-fat Greek yogurt if desired.
- This salad is best served immediately to maintain crispness of the romaine and freshness of the dressing.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the anchovies and chicken, or replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
