Assemble the Salad
Serve
Replace the chicken with grilled shrimp, salmon, or steak for a different flavor profile.
Omit the chicken and anchovy paste. Add grilled halloumi cheese, roasted chickpeas, or a hard-boiled egg for protein.
Enhance the salad with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, or crispy bacon bits.
For a lower-calorie dressing, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
The grilled chicken breast provides high-quality lean protein, which is crucial for building and repairing muscle tissue, supporting immune function, and promoting satiety.
Romaine lettuce is a good source of Vitamin A, essential for vision and immune health, and Vitamin K, which plays a key role in blood clotting and bone health. Parmesan cheese adds a boost of calcium.
Parmesan cheese is rich in calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that are fundamental for developing and maintaining strong, healthy bones.
A serving of this salad contains approximately 550-650 calories, depending on the amount of dressing and croutons used. The majority of calories come from the creamy dressing, cheese, and chicken.
It can be a healthy, balanced meal. It's high in protein from the chicken and provides fiber and vitamins from the lettuce. To make it healthier, use the dressing sparingly, opt for whole-wheat croutons, and load up on the greens.
Yes, absolutely. The anchovy paste adds a traditional savory, umami depth, but you can omit it. For a similar savory flavor, you can add a teaspoon of capers (minced) or a splash of soy sauce.
To make it vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and use a Worcestershire sauce that does not contain anchovies. You can add protein with roasted chickpeas, grilled halloumi cheese, or hard-boiled eggs.
It's best to store the components separately. The grilled chicken and dressing can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Once the salad is tossed with dressing, it should be eaten immediately as the lettuce will become soggy.
