This is not even close to an authentic Caesar. I will never make this again. Super disappointing.

Simple but flavorful dressing made this salad a hit with my family! We substituted grilled lemon pepper chicken breast from the deli and bagged croutons to make a very quick dinner. This recipe will become a regular summer meal!

I loved this recipe! There was a nice caesar salad dressing flavor without the dressing being really heavy. I will be using this recipe again!
