Chipotle Chicken Caesar Salad

Chipotle Chicken Caesar Salad

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2 romaine hearts
• ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
• ¼ cup parmesan, grated
• 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced or diced

Dressing:

• 1 egg
• ¼ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon stone-ground mustard
• 3 Teaspoons chipotle in adobo, puréed
• ¼ cup parmesan, grated
• ½ Teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ Teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• ¾ cup olive oil
• 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced or diced

Instructions

1. Cut up the romaine into bite-sized pieces, wash and spin dry in a salad spinner.
2. For the dressing place all ingredients except the olive oil into the blender and blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the blender, increasing the speed until completely emulsified (speed 5 on a Vita Mix).
3. You can toss all ingredients together and serve. Or, for a fancier presentation, toss the lettuce and dressing together until combined. Transfer the dressed lettuce into your serving bowl or onto plates. Scatter the pine nuts, parmesan, and sliced or diced chicken over the top of the salad. Serve immediately.
