Mix It Up

Since Ever Ready missed Healthy Friday how about mixing things up and  declare today  
Embrace the week by giving it a healthy start with Lemon Basil Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich. It's a light and summer-y salad with a twist that captures your favorite chicken Caesar flavors served on whole grain bread.  
Recipe adapted from closetcooking.com
Cook's Notes:
The recipe did call for bacon which sounded very good but I opted to keep it healthier. I marinated the chicken breasts in 3/4 cup buttermilk for two hours, drained buttermilk and cooked chicken covered at 350 for 35 minutes.  
The salad was made a few hours ahead of serving time for flavors to meld. 
Lemon-Basil Caesar Dressing Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Miracle Whip
  • 2 cloves of garlic, grated
  • 1 TB. lemon zest and 1-2 TB. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

  • Optional 4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
Salad Ingredients:
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, diced (about 3 skinless chicken breasts) 
Dressing and Salad Directions:


  • Use a whisk and mix dressing ingredients together. Fold in cooked chicken and mix well. Cover salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours.
