Caesar by Rita Mitrofanova. The famous salad by the recipe of the equally famous Russian radio host. We didn't bother with the special name of this recipe. Everything is very simple here. Chicken breast fried on both sides, Caesar sauce (you can make it yourself or buy it ready-made), croutons, Romaine lettuce and Parmesan. Rita doesn't add anything else to the salad - cherry tomatoes and balsamic sauce - believing that Caesar is quite self-sufficient without them. And we agree with her.
