Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps

I’ll admit it. I get bored with food easily. I can’t stand eating the same thing all the time. Salads are something that can so easily become dull. Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, for example, is great for lunch or a lighter dinner, but ordinary.

I decided why not turn a salad into a lettuce wrap? These Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps are a fun break from the ordinary. Grilled chicken, Casesar dressing, crunchy croutons, and parmesan cheese (plus a few tomatoes for color) are mixed together and served in a lettuce leaf, rather than being tossed with a plate of chopped lettuce.

This recipe for Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps is loose. Meaning that each ingredient isn’t specifically measured out. I recognize that salads are often very personal. Some like more or less dressing than others. You might not like tomatoes. Chicken Caesar Lettuce Wraps are no different. Use this recipe as a guideline and adapt it as you see fit.

You can try this method with other salads you love. Asian grilled chicken salad, cob salad, or waldorf salad would all be great stuffed into a lettuce leave and folded up. Give it a try! You’ll appreciate the change from the ordinary.

• a handful or two of grape tomatoes, halved
• Croutons
