Cooks' Note

Once a fancy restaurant exclusive, Caesar salad is now an everyday meal—it’s healthy, filling, and ever so versatile. This rendition is topped with slivers of tasty, tender chicken breast meat. Be sure to use whole-wheat croutons; you can make your own from slices of stone-ground whole-wheat toast. The salad is best with shredded rather than grated Parmesan cheese.
