Caesar Salad

NAME
Caesar Salad comprises romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper, originally prepared tableside. Many variations include fresh tomatoes and grilled chicken fillet.

SYNOPSIS
Portion: 2 Persons
- 1 large head romaine lettuce
- 2 big tomatoes
- 2 chopped boneless chicken breasts
- olive oil
- French or Italian bread
- Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground salt
- Grated Parmesan cheese

DESCRIPTION
Trim the romaine lettuce of bruised or browned leaves, then cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Wash and drain the lettuce, pat it dry and refrigerate for 30 minutes to crisp the leaves.

Cook chicken breasts until they are tender and chop into bite size pieces.
To make the croutons, cut the bread into cubes, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Fry the bread cubes in the oil, tossing frequently, until they're crisp and golden.
Cut tomatoes in cubes and add to the bowl. Now add the lettuce, croutons, chicken breast, lemon juice, black pepper, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and salt, and blend well.
