Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

We love this salad! We make it all summer long - we even made it while we were camping once - and I never get tired of it.



Ingredients

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 t. dried basil
1 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. pepper
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 large bunch of Romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cup croutons
1 c halved cherry tomatoes
2/3 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing (our favorite is the Lighthouse brand)
shredded Parmesan cheese

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first 8 ingredients, then add chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the romaine, croutons and tomatoes; add dressing and toss to coat. Divide onto salad plates, slice chicken and arrange on salads. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.


*If I'm making this for just Chris and myself, I add the dressing to our salads individually. That way I'm not stuck with a bunch of leftovers that will go bad by the next day.
