HEART HEALTHY CAESAR CHICKEN SALAD



Heart Healthy Caesar Chicken Salad image

A few years back, my wife and I attended a heart-healthy cooking class, put on by professional dietitians in the local hospital kitchen. This is a nice little salad, and was only one of the great heart-healthy, tasty dishes which came from the numerous recipes that were generated from those classes. The recipe says that it serves six -- I say that it more realistically serves four. There is a lengthy marinating time so plan this one ahead. The recipe is a spinoff of the original version created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, an Italian restaurateur in Tijuana, Mexico. That's right, the salad is named after its creator, a Chef, not Julius Caesar of the famed Roman Empire, according to The JNA Institute of Culinary arts. Anyway, this salad is great for brunch. Enjoy!
