Outback Steakhouse Caesar Dressing Recipe
I love dining out. But, something changes when you have kids, am I right? Dining out during the week is just not as miraculous as it used to be. When you’ve got kids in tow {don’t get me wrong I love my little beauties…} but it takes longer, it’s a tad bit more stressful and it could be argued that it would take less time and be a little easier when you eat at home. Now, date night… that’s a whole other story. 😀
Anyhow, I got to thinking the other night, dreaming actually, about the Outback Steakhouse menu (which inevitably left me thinking about the Outback Steakhouse prices) and I knew that I could conquer their caesar salad dressing as it’s the best caesar dressing recipe (ok,ok, maybe one of the best) that there is. You can find the recipe for the best caesar salad dressing recipe there is, but get your electric mixer ready, because that’s the only tool you’ll need.
How to make a chicken caesar salad
It’s impossible to mess up a caesar salad, I suppose you could pour too much dressing on – so heed my warning, be gentle with the dressing till you’ve got just the right consistency. While your chicken for caesar salad is cooking, cut up & wash your romaine lettuce and get your Parmesan cheese and croutons (don’t skip the cheese and croutons!). For the chicken above I used one of my regular pans, but I used a smaller one so it all kind of heated up together, as to not dry out. I have these pans and love them, but man, I’d sure love some of these. I also love, love. love the Montreal Chicken Seasoning by McCormick for my chicken, and shrimp, too. Try it and let me know what you think.
Mix all of the cold ingredients together. Then, add your salad dressing. I like my chicken to be a bit warm when I thrown it in the salad so I throw that in last. I think the key to a great caesar salad, though is tossing and mixing it all together in a bigger bowl and then putting it into the bowls that I’ll be serving it in. Like this:
How to make a chicken caesar salad wrap
I found this post on how to wrap a burrito which is very similar to wrapping a salad wrap, so if you’re not sure which side to tuck, how to fold, what to do in general, that’ a great tutorial to follow. So, you’d just assemble your ingredients above and then wrap your caesar salad into the biggest tortilla you can find. Yum!
