FAMILY FEATURES -- On weeknights packed with errands and activities it's smart to be well-stocked with simple dinner solutions.
A satisfying salad makes a great quick, convenient meal. So throw on your sombrero and try this recipe for Mexicali Chicken Caesar Salad, a new spin on the classic Caesar that the whole family will love.
Save time by using cooked chicken - you can use rotisserie chicken coated with a packet of taco seasoning mix. You could also use leftover grilled or baked chicken instead. Prepare a chili- Caesar-style dressing, complete with the key Caesar ingredient, raw eggs.
With Safest Choice Pasteurized Shell Eggs, the risk of foodborne illness from salmonella or other bacteria is eliminated. The eggs are pasteurized in the shell with a warm water bath. It's a natural process using the precise time and temperature to make them completely safe to consume raw. A red circle "P" stamped on each egg verifies that the eggs have been pasteurized by the Safest Choice all-natural water bath and are safe to use in raw or lightly cooked egg dishes.
Just toss the spicy dressing with romaine lettuce, top with the chicken, and a sprinkling of cheese, tomatoes and tortilla chips.
