Quick and Easy Caesar Salad from Left Over Roast Chicken



This recipe is perfect for left over roast chicken. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and is pretty damn tasty. 

Ingredients (enough for 2 people):

120g of your favourite salad leaves
1/4 roast chicken - shredded
6 tbs mayonnaise
2 slices of bread - toasted
3 cloves of garlic - crushed
2 tsp of lemon juice
1/2 tbs of Dijon mustard
1 tbs of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbs of white wine vinegar
3 tbs olive oil
Cracked black pepper

Method:
Cut the crust of the toasted bread slices and discard. Cut the remainder of the toasted bread into bite size cubes and place into a large bowl. Into the same bowl place the salad leaves and the roast chicken pieces.

For the dressing place the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and white wine vinegar into a food processor. Grind everything until it turns into a smooth, milky looking dressing. Have a taste and add more of any of the above ingredients to suit your liking. 

Add the dressing to the salad bowl and mix together with the chicken and toasted bread cubes until everything is evenly distributed. Finish off with a drizzle of olive oil, a few twists of cracked black pepper, and serve.
