Our lovely friends reminded me of this great classic salad when we visited them in Berlin a while ago. Max loves Caesar salad so I decided to add it to his collection. I don’t use anchovies for dressing as I find them too salty. Here is a lighter option of the Caesar dressing using natural yogurt.

Ingredients

• 2 Romaine lettuce heads;
• 130g cherry tomatoes;
• 425g mini chicken fillets;
• 30 croutons;
• 30g Parmesan cheese;
• 2 tbsp light mayonnaise;
• 1 tbsp mustard;
• 1 tbsp olive oil;
• 3 tbsp natural yogurt;
• 2 garlic cloves;
• 2 tbsp lemon juice;

Step by step

• Grill the chicken fillets and leave them to cool.
• Wash and chop lettuce.
• Halve cherry tomatoes.
• To make the dressing grate the garlic, then add the lemon juice, mayo, mustard, and yogurt. Whisk well to combine. Drizzle in the olive oil while continually whisking.
• Toss the lettuce and tomatoes with the dressing in a large bowl.
• Slice the chicken and scatter over the salad leaves.
• Top the salad with the croutons.
• Shave the cheese with a peeler over each plate.
