Tandoori chicken Caesar salad recipe | Caesar salad dressing

 

Caesar salad was named after  Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini who is said to have invented the salad in Mexico to attract tourists in his restaurant. Originally the salad contained Romaine lettuce , bread croutons,boiled eggs ,Parmesan cheese ,Worcestershire sauce  and garlic .His brother prepared a new version by adding anchovies and the salad became very popular.

I prepared this salad version during Facebook live cooking for Foodies+ group with Azlin Bloor, Giangi Townsend and Joy Gordon and added Indian flavors. This salad is a spicy version with green chilies added in the dressing and topped with tandoori chicken tikka baked in the oven and smoked on direct flame.
