Grilled chicken caesar salad gets a makeover with dressing made from silken soft tofu. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fat free croutons.

Ingredients:

olive oil cooking spray

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

1/2 cup silken soft tofu

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

3/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste

1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons grated and 1/4 cup shaved fresh parmesan cheese

8 cups romaine lettuce cut crosswise into 2-inch strips

1 1/4 cups fat-free croutons

Directions:

1. Heat grill pan to medium-high. Mist chicken breasts with olive oil spray, and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill chicken until just cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. Place chicken on a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute; cut into bite-size pieces.
2. Mix next 8 ingredients and remaining salt and pepper in a blender until well-combined and creamy, scraping down blender sides, as necessary. Add 1 tablespoon water to thin. Stir in grated Parmesan.
3. Toss lettuce, croutons, and dressing in a large bowl; divide among 4 plates. Arrange chicken over salads, sprinkling each evenly with shaved Parmesan.
