LOADED CAESAR SALAD FRIES
This loaded Caesar salad fries recipe is the best of both worlds! If you love fresh crispy fries and Caesar salad, then you need to try this mashup recipe. Crunchy seasoned fries that are topped with a fresh bed of Caesar salad loaded with crispy chicken and topped with Parmesan cheese. This dish is a fun and delicious twist of two classics that are usually ordered together!
WHAT YOU NEED-
- Fries– Either homemade French fries, store-bought frozen French fries, or even truffle fries can be used for this dish. They can either be fried, air fried, or baked, whichever you prefer.
- Seasonings– When using frozen French fries, I love to season them for extra flavor! I use a mix of salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. You can use any of your favorite seasonings or even a special French Fry seasoning.
- Romaine– Either fresh romaine or iceberg lettuce can be used for the salad, I prefer Romaine.
- Parmesan Cheese– You can have Caesar salad without Parmesan cheese! For the best results, I recommend that you use freshly grated parmesan, not pre-grated parmesan cheese.
- Chicken– You can use your go-to chicken for the Caesar salad, whether grilled, air fried, baked, or pan-seared chicken. I love using chicken tenders, popcorn chicken, or blackened chicken for the Caesar salad.
- Caesar Salad Dressing– For the best results, I recommend using my homemade Caesar salad dressing. You can also use store-bought dressing, whichever you prefer.
