Delicious Chicken and Avocado Caesar Salad

Recipe FAQs

→ How can I save time when making this salad?

You can speed things up by grabbing ready-to-eat rotisserie chicken or pre-grilled chicken from the store. Pre-packaged romaine lettuce works too! Prep the dressing a few days ahead and keep it sealed in the fridge to save even more time.

→ Can I make this salad ahead of time for meal prep?

Totally doable! Keep everything separate—store dressing in a sealed jar, lettuce in a container with paper towels, and chicken and avocado (tossed in lemon juice so it stays fresh) in another. Croutons and Parmesan should go separately too. Put it all together when you're ready to eat for the best texture.

→ How do I make this salad dairy-free?

Simple swap! Use dairy-free yogurt like almond or coconut-based options instead of Greek yogurt. Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a similar savory kick. Use about 1-2 tablespoons for the dressing and sprinkle a little on top.

→ What’s a good alternative to Worcestershire sauce?

If you're out of Worcestershire, use soy sauce or coconut aminos with a drop of apple cider or red wine vinegar and a pinch of sugar. For something more classic, mix soy sauce and fish sauce. Vegetarian Worcestershire sauces are also available if you're avoiding anchovies.

→ Can I add other veggies to customize this salad?

Of course! This salad’s super flexible. Throw in cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, red onion, or bell peppers. Roasted veggies like zucchini or red peppers also work great. Need more protein? Toss in chickpeas or hard-boiled eggs. Just remember, each addition might change the nutritional profile.
