Chicken Caesar Salad (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken breast
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for chicken)
• 2 romaine hearts, chopped
• 1/4 cup dairy-free mayo
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• gluten-free croutons (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Season chicken with salt and pepper, cook in olive oil 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through, rest 5 minutes, then slice.

2. 2

   Whisk dairy-free mayo, lemon juice, Dijon, and garlic together in a bowl.

3. 3

   While whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, thin stream — adding it gradually like this is what keeps the dressing emulsified instead of splitting into oil and vinegar.

4. 4

   Stir in nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami flavor.

5. 5

   Toss romaine with the dressing, top with sliced chicken and croutons if using.
