Ramp up the protein in your traditional caesar salad by adding flavorful chunks of chicken and turning it into chicken caesar salad for a quick and easy lunch or light dinner. Level it up with homemade croutons, a creamy homemade dressing, and shaved Parmigiano!
In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until anchovy paste is combined.
Whisk in the the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined. Season to taste, if needed. Chill until ready to use.

Croutons: Use my homemade croutons recipe for optimal flavor. Variation: Add in sliced cherry tomatoes and diced avocado to make it even heartier. Storage: Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Toss with salad just before serving.
