How To Make Caesar Salad?

In an attempt of living healthier, I tried making Caesar Salad for my family and Bean. It tasted just the same as the ones you get from the restaurants BUT at a cheaper cost.

  • 2 pieces chicken thigh fillet
  • 1 packet Lettuce Cos (peeled and washed)
  • 1 tomato (sliced into bite size)
  • 100ml mayonnaise

  • 2 clove of garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3-5 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese (grated or shredded)

Chicken Preparation
1. Marinate chicken thigh fillets with a pinch of salt, a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and some sesame oil for about 10 minutes.
2. Just before frying, add in a tablespoon of rice flour and mix well.
3. Pan-fry the chicken thigh fillets till the surface is golden brown with some olive oil.
