Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Dressing

    In a large mixing bowl, add 125ml of light mayonnaise. Squeeze in the juice of 1 fresh lemon. Then, add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 50g of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 crushed garlic clove. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Taste the dressing, then add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

    Step 2: Combine Ingredients

    When you’re ready to serve, take 4 crispy chicken thighs and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Add these to the bowl with the dressing. Next, toss in 50g of crunchy croutons and 1 large Cos lettuce (or 4 Little Gem lettuces), torn into smaller pieces. Gently mix everything together, ensuring the chicken and croutons are well-coated in the dressing.

    Step 3: Serve and Garnish

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plates. For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving. This adds a nice finishing touch!

    Tip:

    Crispy Chicken Thighs
    This salad is particularly delicious when using leftovers from the Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad recipe (see "Goes well with..."). Using leftover chicken not only saves you time but also adds a tasty crunch. Enjoy this salad as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner option!

    Helpful Hints:

    • Make sure to taste the dressing before adding the chicken; you can adjust the seasoning as needed.
    • For extra crunch, you can add more croutons just before serving.
    • If you like it tangy, add a little more lemon juice!
    • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours if needed.
