The Modified Caesar

Dill seems to be one of those ingredients that people either love or hate (I think the same goes for cilantro). I fall in the former of those categories, and my love of the stuff is probably a little bit closer to an obsession. Ever heard someone say “everything’s better with chocolate?” Just replace chocolate with dill, and I’m on board.

Since we started following the Mediterranean WOE, I’ve been making all of our dressings from scratch. It’s incredibly easy to do, and utilizing fresh ingredients makes a world of difference in the flavor department – with no “surprises” like added sugar. Delicious and healthy? Now we’re talking.

This salad is a fantastic lunch, or, without the chicken, would be a wonderful accompaniment to dinner. You could also easily substitute leftover salmon for the chicken, or go meatless and opt for a hardboiled egg instead.
