Notes

  • Time-Saver Tip: Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
  • Dressing Tip: Use a thick, creamy Caesar—not vinaigrette—for best results.
  • Cheese Swap: Add Asiago or Romano for extra bite.
  • Flatbread Hack: Swap dough with naan or pita for a quick 10-minute bake.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat without romaine at 375°F for 5–7 min.
  • Freezer Tip: Freeze before adding romaine. Add fresh after reheating.
