Chicken Nugget Caesar Salad
There is something so comforting about a classic Caesar salad. Now picture that but with CRISPY, CRUNCHY CHICKEN nuggets on top! Yes I'm shouting because this idea is just so dang good. I loooove making my own homemade Caesar salad dressing and have been doing so for years! It's honestly easy and I bet you have most of the ingredients on the ready! Homemade croutons are not needed but a nice touch! This is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser if hosting or just a delicious and comforting weeknight dinner.
