When I was in my early 20s I worked as a waitress at a small bistro run by a couple from Switzerland. The chef made a salad for the lunch menu that I really loved. Years later I was struggling to think of a tasty, light summer meal and it came back to me. It has turned out to be a family favourite.
I put it in a pita or wrap to make a good hand-held picnic food.
Jurg’s Sweet and Spicy Thai Chicken Caesar Salad
- Diced chicken
- Soft pitas (or some other flat bread to wrap the salad in)
- Chopped romaine lettuce
- Parmesan cheese
- Thai sauce (I use Asian Family Thai Sweet Chili Sauce)
- Caesar salad dressing
- Saute the diced chicken in the Thai sauce. Don’t add the sauce at the end or you don’t get caramelization and that boosts the flavour.
- Make up a quick Caesar salad.
- Place some salad in the flat bread, spoon cooked chicken over it, sprinkle on parmesan flakes.
VOILA! Dinner is served.
Make me eat my words.
