Recipe: Chicken Caesar Salad

I've been on a Chicken Caesar Salad kick lately. It's so simple I don't think a recipe is even necessary. But rather than buy pre-made dressing, I decided to take matters into my own hands. It was way easier to make than I had thought and now this is my go-to recipe. I go the nontraditional route because I omit the egg and anchovies. Just something about those ingredients are really unappealing to me.

Also to note is that I don't follow the recipes I post exactly. Cooking is all about practice and the more you practice, the more intuitive it gets. So I recommend tasting the dressing as you go, adding more or less of ingredients as you see fit.
