This Healthy Homemade Chicken Caesar Salad is a light, protein-packed twist on the classic. Using Greek yogurt as the creamy base for the Caesar dressing, it’s lower in calories and still rich with tangy, savory flavor thanks to Parmesan, Dijon, garlic, and anchovy.

Perfect for a balanced lunch or dinner, this salad is filling, fresh, and satisfying. Don’t forget to massage the kale to mellow out its bitterness and make every bite silky and delicious!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Kale Massage Magic 👋
    Massage the raw kale with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes to break down the tough fibers, making it more tender and less bitter.
  • Yogurt Dressing Hack 🥄
    Whisk the Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing thoroughly to ensure the anchovy, Dijon, and garlic are completely integrated for a smooth, balanced flavor profile.
  • Chicken Tenderloin Perfection 🍗
    Pat chicken tenderloins completely dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming instead of browning.
  • Toasted Almond Technique 🥜
    Lightly toast almonds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the salad to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a delightful crunch.
  • Nutrient Layering Trick 🥗
    Chop broccoli and cherry tomatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution and a perfect bite in every forkful.
