Caesar salad is an absolute favorite on many restaurant menus, and for a good reason: it has the fresh taste of a salad, but is packed full of flavor. Yes, it’s not the healthiest of salads, but there's no denying that it's seriously tasty. This recipe takes the classic Caesar up to the next level. You’ve got super-juicy strips of sous vide chicken, bacon ‘dust’, which combines bacon and croutons in one – and yep, this bacon dust is so good that you’re going to want to put it on everything from now on. Then there’s the dressing, which although creamy, also has an addictive tanginess owing to the addition of white vinegar and finely chopped red onion. There's much more to this salad than just lettuce: you've got tomato, avocado, dill and chives. Basically it’s the ultimate salad… if I may say so myself.
