Light salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. I'd like to point out that the minimum ingredient list for a "Caesar" includes chicken, lettuce, croutons, and dressing. After that, you can add boiled eggs, tomatoes, cheese, etc. This is a wonderful restaurant-style dish that you can easily recreate in your own kitchen. Plus, it won't take you much time. Garnish as desired and serve.

Step 1
1. The main component of the dish, without which it's impossible to imagine "Caesar," is the original dressing. In fact, making it is quite simple. Place the egg yolk (if you're unsure about the egg quality, it's better to use a boiled one), minced garlic, lemon juice, mustard, minced anchovies (or paste), salt, and pepper into a deep bowl.
