Family liked this - I also grilled the chicken and set it on top of the dressed greens.  I also added some sliced red onion and sliced tomatoes.  I'm glad I tried this but Weight Watchers has a grilled chicken caesar salad recipe that is much better.  We'll stay with that one.

Very tasty and makes for a simple, light, elegant meal. The dressing is great, though quite tangy from the yogurt (which I don't mind, but others might).

Made this exactly as written and it was very good, hard to believe it's under 300 calories.

Lovely caesar dressing. My husband grilled the chicken on the outdoor grill and served it chopped up with the lettuce more like a salad.

Delicious. So simple. The Caesar dressing was really good. This will be in heavy rotation.
