Chopped Caesar Salad w/ Garlic Sourdough Croutons
Making this a chopped salad allows us to chuck in some crunchy, raw veg in the shape of broccoli and asparagus, making this super healthy with wonderful crunchy textures. You’ve got the juicy, spicy chicken, warm and garlicky croutons, crunchy veg and salty anchovies, all brought together by my delicious and lighter caesar dressing. Divine!
