Healthy Caesar Salad

ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices sourdough, ciabatta or gluten free bread
  • Spray olive oil
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp (20ml) lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp (20ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (60g) whole egg mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60g) light sour cream
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 2 baby cos lettuce, trimmed and quartered
  • 2 cups (300g) sliced roast chicken
  • shaved parmesan cheese to serve

method

  1. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add 2 eggs straight from the fridge and boil for 6 minutes for a soft boil (or 8 minutes if you like them jammy). Remove from the heat and run under cold water until cool enough to peel.
  2. Preheat the grill/broiler. Spray the bread on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast under the grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until crisp.
  3. Cut or tear the toast into bite-sized croutons.
  4. To make the dressing – place the Dijon, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, water, and sour cream in a bowl and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Place 4 quarters of lettuce in each bowl, top with chicken, an egg, prosciutto, croutons and parmesan shavings. Serve with the Caesar dressing.

Leah's notes

Dietary Info: Gluten Free (if using GF bread)

Tip: For something different, try delicious fresh or smoked salmon instead of chicken.
