Easily one of the most popular and well-known salads in the world, our recipe has all the flavours of a classic Chicken and Bacon Caesar Salad without the calories!

Super tasty, super filling and super easy to make – you can have this fresh, tangy salad on the table in less than 20 minutes.

The best part? We’ve ditched a load of calories by swapping the classic high calorie dressing for our own garlic version, using fat free Greek yoghurt.

Seasoned chicken breast and bacon bits, drizzled with our home-made Caesar-style dressing on a bed of fresh lettuce. Sounds good, right?

You can even serve alongside a wholemeal bread roll, if you fancy it.

Oh, and don’t forget the cheese! We’ve used parmesan shavings to speed things up a little bit, but a thin slice from a Parmesan block will work just fine too.

In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and stir until smooth.

Step 7

Recipe notes

Tip: We have used Parmesan shavings in this recipe for speed, however, you can just slice a block of Parmesan really thinly for the same results.

Tip: The chicken may take longer depending on the thickness of your chicken breast. Slice into the thickest part of the breast and check there is no pinkness remaining.
