Ingredients

For the dressing

2 tsp anchovy paste
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 garlic cloves previously minced
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan

For the Caesar salad

1 iceberg lettuce romaine lettuce
2 boneless chicken thighs previously cooked
1 cup croutons
1/3 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

Start slowly whisking 2 tsp of anchovy paste( if you bought anchovy fillets then previously mash it in a paste), 2 yolks and ½ tsp salt. Then add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp previously minced garlic and 2 tsp of dijon mustard and whisk a little again. On medium speed, start adding in a thin slow stream 1 cup of olive oil. Whisk the mixture until it looks thick and glossy. At the end whisk in ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
Preheat a skillet/grill at medium-high temperature. Drizzle some drops of olive oil and cook the chicken until golden( better when marinated ahead of time). When the poultry is cooked, set aside and allow it to cool. Then slice the chicken meat into bite-size strips.
Meanwhile, using your hand, tear off chunks of lettuce in a large salad bowl. Add the croutons and pour the dressing on top. Then gently toss to combine well all ingredients making sure that lettuce is evenly coated.
Plate the salad in portion and top each portion with grilled chicken and some cherry tomatoes. Garnish with some more shredded parmesan.
