I created this fun and slim spin—a protein-packed salad “pizza” starring my tasty homemade dressing (avocado is the secret ingredient).

Caesar Dressing (Makes about 12 tablespoons)
- ⅓ cup mashed avocado, about ½ an avocado
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza
- Pound chicken breast super thin (and as round as possible) to look like pizza crust. Season with salt, pepper and preferred spices. Warm a pan, sprayed with oil spray, over medium heat. Cook chicken about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
- Top chicken “crust” with 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing. Top with romaine lettuce. Add Parmesan, plus an additional drizzle of 1 to 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing and ground black pepper.
- Add croutons for 30 calories more.
Caesar Dressing
- Place all ingredients in a food processor or powerful blender and mix until thoroughly combined and smooth. Use 4 tablespoons for Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza and store remaining dressing in an air-tight container in the fridge.
