Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Crispy chicken strips — For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken strips instead of frying them. Simply coat the chicken with a little oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.

Tips & Tricks

  • To add an extra kick to your fast food Caesar salad, sprinkle some hot sauce or chili flakes on top.
  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can mix the store-bought Caesar dressing with some Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
  • For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the crispy chicken strips with grilled tofu or tempeh.
  • Customize your salad by adding cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, or avocado for extra freshness.
  • If you're not a fan of croutons, you can substitute them with crispy bacon bits for added flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the fast food Caesar salad as a main dish for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner. It pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a bowl of tomato soup.

Presentation advice
