Cajun Caesar Salad

To be honest, this doesn't really count as a recipe. It's more of a good idea. One that I have my mother-in-law to thank for. Because let's be honest, although I like all of the elements of this recipe independently, I would have never thought to combine them before getting this recipe from her (I know, I need to work on being more creative in the kitchen). I mean, what's not to like about Caesar salad and cajun chicken? Now mix the two together... Deliciousness. We even like to throw a few handfuls of chopped almonds in the mix. I know Caesar dressing might not be the most healthy dressing out there, but we sure fool ourselves into thinking that we are eating healthy when we indulge in this meal!


Cajun Caesar Salad
(from Momma Griggs!)

Chicken breasts
Cajun seasoning
Spinach leaves
Caesar dressing
Chopped almonds (if desired)
(sorry for the complete lack of measurements; we honestly just mix the ingredients together until we get the composition we're looking for!)

Season chicken breasts with cajun seasoning and cook until juices run clear. Slice into strips. Meanwhile, combine spinach leaves and Caesar dressing in a large bowl with a lid. Snap lid in place and shake to coat. Add in chicken slices and almonds; shake again or toss with salad tongs. Serve and enjoy!
