Simple chicken salad
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. The main ingredients of "Caesar" salad are croutons made from wheat bread, romaine lettuce leaves, grated Parmesan, and a special dressing. The dressing's key feature is fresh eggs boiled for just one minute and then cooled. It's said that Caesar's mother shared this egg secret with him. The eggs are blended with olive oil and seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. The classic version of the salad is quite light, so you can add a hard-boiled egg or fried chicken. Today we'll find out. The salad is ready to serve.
