Ingredients

• 1 head romaine lettuce (large, chopped)
• 2 cup rotisserie chicken (shredded, skin removed)
• 0.5 cup croutons
• 0.25 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper to create the dairy-free Caesar dressing.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded rotisserie chicken, and croutons.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Notes

To keep the lettuce crisp, add the dressing just before serving. You can prepare the chicken and dressing ahead of time and store separately.
