You will need:

• Romano or iceberg lettuce — 1 pc;
• Parmesan cheese — 70 g;
• Chicken fillet — 1 pc;
• Bread (for croutons) — 100 g;
• Cherry tomatoes — 6-8 pcs.

For Caesar sauce:

• Egg yolk — 1 pc;
• Dijon mustard — 1/2 tsp;
• Apple cider vinegar — 1 tbsp;
• Anchovies — 2 pcs;
• Garlic — 2 cloves;
• Olive oil — 60-100 ml (the more, the thicker the sauce).

How to make the Caesar salad:

Fry or bake the chicken fillet in a frying pan until golden brown, add a little salt. Cool and cut into slices.

Cut the bread into cubes, fry it in a dry frying pan or with a little oil until crispy — these will be croutons.

For the sauce: in the bowl of a mixer, beat the egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, chopped anchovies and garlic. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking until you get a thick emulsion.

Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them, and tear them by hand.

Toss with chicken, cherry tomatoes, croutons and grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with sauce before serving. Enjoy!
