Grilled Chicken Garlic Caesar Salad

When I make a chicken Caesar salad I like to take minced garlic and add to my favorite Caesar dressing, Gerard's light Caesar and this really gives the dressing a kick. Second, adding fresh grated parmesan cheese takes this dish to the next level for sure.
 
Ingredients:
Grilled chicken breast
Romaine lettuce
Gerard's light Caesar salad dressing
2 cloves minced garlic
4 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese


Preparation:
Prepare you lettuce by cutting the lettuce into bite size pieces washing in a salad spinner. Make sure the lettuce is perfectly dry because if there is water on the lettuce, the salad dressing will get watered down and won't be nearly as good.
 
Place the prepared lettuce in a large salad bowl. Take the salad dressing and add to a small bowl. Add the minced garlic  to the salad dressing and mix well. Add the salad dressing and parmesan cheese to the lettuce. Mix the salad very well so the dressing is evenly coated all the lettuce.
 
Plate the salad and grate a little more parmesan cheese and a grind of fresh ground pepper. Top with sliced grilled chicken and tuscan toast crouton.
