Combine all the elements of this Simple Low-Cal Caesar Salad and serve up the most satisfying salad. It's crunchy, full of flavour and so easy to put together. Give it a go!

Ingredients

  • 2 iceberg lettuces (£1.08)
  • 400 g mini chicken fillets (£1.99)
  • 4 rashers of bacon (£1.49/2)=(£0.75)
  • 3 celery stalks (£0.50/2)=(£0.25)
  • 2 tbsp greek yogurt (£0.68/5)=(£0.14)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (£0.69/4)=(£0.17)
  • 1 clove of garlic (£0.03)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Salt & Pepper

Method

  • If you have time, marinade the chicken with a squeeze of lemon, 1 tsp of mustard and 1 tbsp of olive oil for an hour. If not, combine in a bowl and add straight to the pan on a high heat to get a nice sear.
  • Slice the bacon removing any visible fat and add to the sauce pan.
  • Rotate the chicken breasts after 6 minutes and cook for a further 6 minutes reducing the heat.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop your garlic then add a pinch of salt onto it. Using the back of your knife, apply pressure to form a paste and repeatedly chop. The salt will act as an abrasive to help get that smooth texture, you don’t wanna munch on a piece of raw garlic (this time).
  • Chop and wash your lettuce and celery.
  • Whisk the mustard, garlic and lemon juice together in a bowl. Then add the greek yogurt.
  • Slowly pour in the oil from a height as you whisk to form the emulsion. Add some salt and pepper and that’s your dressing sorted!
  • Chicken & bacon should be finished at this point, combine all the elements and serve up the most satisfying salad you’ll ever eat.
