New York kale and chicken Caesar salad has some really bold flavours - and that's why we love it. The secret is in the marinade, which is well worth the wait and full of big flavours like garlic, mustard and anchovies, which bring saltiness. Cook the chicken on the BBQ for all that lovely, smokey flavour, which works so well with this punchy dressing. Remove the croutons to lower the calorie count further to make this an even healthier, low calorie meals (opens in new tab).
