Christa's Chicken Caesar Salad:
1 head romaine lettuce
3 tbsp Renee's Mighty Caesar Salad Dressing
3-4 strips cooked bacon (not too crispy) crumbled
2 tbsp FRESH parmesan cheese (not that powder Kraft stuff...yuck)
1 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast
Wash & pat dry lettuce (or use a salad spinner)
Mix in dressing and bacon
Slice/chop chicken and place on top of salad
Sprinkle cheese on top of salad.
SERVE! Easy and the BEST Caesar salad ever....if you don't have Renee's Mighty Caesar dressing then don't even bother making this recipe. The regular Renee's caesar dressing is good too but mighty has more garlic thus more kick...yum! Also notice I don't add croutons...just don't like them in this salad. Takes away from the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy.

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you giver her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll make give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit"

I suppose this would require that I actually eat salad, huh? No prize for me I guess :(

I love this receipe and its very yummy. Everyone that I have known to try it absolutely loves it. I hope you do too. :)
Oh I have another one
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of califlower
2 cups of broccoli
A few handfuls of raisins
A few slices of bacon
About 4 or 5 tbsp of mayo
Milk
White Sugar.
(Sorry about the lack of exact amounts on the ingredients but I always just "throw" this salad together without measuring anything. lol)
Chop the califlower and broccoli into bite size pieces. Throw in a couple handfuls of raisins and add chopped bacon.
Mix: Mayo with milk to make it runny enough to coat the broccoli and califlower. Add sugar to taste.
Add dressing to salad, toss and enjoy. Another one that I make for whatever party I'm attending and everyone loves it. Easy to make too. :)
