My vegetarian take on the classic restaurant dish, the Chicken Caesar.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 MorningStar Farms Chik Pattie Original
- 2 1/2 cups shredded or chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Caesar salad dressing
- 3 tablespoons grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese, grated with a microplane grater
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup croutons (about 1 ounce)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook Chik Pattie according to package directions. (I like to use my toaster oven.) Then let rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting into very small pieces.
- Toss romaine lettuce with dressing until well coated, and place in large salad bowl.
- Top salad with Chik Pattie pieces, grated cheese, and croutons. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
Notes
The microplane grater helps get good cheese coverage over the salad with less total cheese, which means less total fat and calories.
If you’d like to mix things up a bit from the traditional Caesar, toasted sliced almonds and fresh basil are both flavorful additions to this recipe.
