CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS

Don't be afraid! It is SO good! My husband and I had never been big asparagus fans, but when I got this recipe from an awesome lady who often substitute teaches at the school where I work, I just had to try it, and we love it! I've never actually put the croutons on, and we never toss all four servings together as the recipe calls for, we just put the salad in individual bowls, top with the chicken and veggies, and put on the desired amount of dressing and parmesan cheese. I also love mine with fresh ground pepper. We like to precook a larger quantity of asparagus and chicken ahead of time to be able to enjoy this salad more than once. I've taken this to work for lunch as well, but would recommend keeping the ingredients separate in order to prevent the lettuce from getting mushy. This makes a great meal all by itself, maybe with some fresh fruit for dessert. The preparation time is really a guess. It all depends on whether or not you already have the chicken cooked and on what method you choose to cook it. All of the other ingredients can be prepped and ready in less than the amount of time it takes to cook the chicken, so it comes together pretty fast.

1 (12 ounce) bag romaine lettuce (My card just says one bag, 12-16 ounce is a guess. Depends on how you like the proportion)
2 1/2 cups cut-up cooked chicken breasts (we usually grill or broil it)
2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved if necessary) or 2 cups grape tomatoes (halved if necessary)
2 cups cut-up cooked asparagus (I steam just long enough to take off the raw edge, but remain a crunchy, then plunge into cold water)
1/2 cup caesar salad dressing (regular or reduced fat)
1 cup seasoned croutons
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (The real stuff, not the powdered stuff that you shake out of a jar)

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, anchovy fillets, garlic, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add the egg, a few sprinkles of the cheese, lots of black pepper, and the lemon juice. Whisk to emulsify. Taste the dressing, first by itself and then on a ribbon of asparagus; adjust to taste. Add the asparagus ribbons to a second mixing bowl and drizzle with a small amount of dressing. Sprinkle on the remainder of the grated parmigiano-reggiano and toss to coat. Add more dressing, tasting along the way (you'll likely have extra), until the asparagus is dressed to your liking. Divvy up the salad among the plates and garnish with a few shavings of parmigiano-reggiano. Serves one to two, with extra dressing left over.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/4 tablespoons chopped salt-packed anchovy fillets (3 to 5 fillets), or anchovy paste
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
A few pinches of kosher salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 ounces parmigiano-reggiano, finely grated (3/4 cup very lightly packed), plus shavings for garnish
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 large bunch (1 pound) asparagus, ribboned

  • Cut half of one bunch asparagus into 1-inch pieces (3/4 cup). In a medium saucepan bring about 5 cups water to boiling. Add asparagus pieces; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bright green and crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl of ice water until cold; drain. Repeat with fresh peas. (For frozen peas, skip cooking; rinse under water to thaw.)
  • For asparagus-pea pesto: In a food processor combine asparagus pieces, 1 cup peas, garlic, and vinegar. Cover; pulse several times to chop. Scrape sides. Pulse again until mixture forms a paste. With machine running, slowly pour in olive oil. Add Parmesan; pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper; set aside.
  • Using a sharp vegetable peeler, peel remaining asparagus to create thin ribbons. Slice any remaining pieces. In a large bowl combine asparagus ribbons, arugula, and remaining 1/2 cup peas. Add 1/2 cup pesto; toss to coat. (Refrigerate remaining pesto up to 1 week.)
