Chopped Chicken Caesar Salad Bagels

You can never go wrong with a chicken Caesar salad, and this chopped bagel version is quick, easy and DELICIOUS. Simply layer your ingredients on a board, and chop away. A wonderful, high-protein idea to prep for lunches throughout the week, or as a speedy, light meal at the end of a busy day.
I highly recommend trying my high-protein Caesar dressing and trying your hand at making a batch of my two-ingredient dough bagels or high-protein cottage cheese bagels. You won't regret it!

Ingredients

For the protein-packed Caesar dressing -

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • Black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons miso paste

For the bagels -

  • 1 cooked chicken breast
  • 3 slices streaky bacon
  • ¼ cup Caesar dressing
  • 3 large Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 scallions
  • ¼ cup parmesan grated
  • Black pepper
  • 2 bagels

Instructions

  • Make the dressing.
    You can either mix the ingredients in a bowl, or pop them into a blender or mini chopper and blitz into a super smooth sauce. I prefer to blend the dressing so the cottage cheese becomes gorgeously creamy!
  • Cook the bacon.
    Add the bacon to a small pan and set over high heat. Cook until super crispy, about five minutes. Remove from the pan.
  • Chop the salad.
    Place your lettuce, scallions, chicken, and bacon on top of each other on a board. Chop everything into small, bite-sized pieces, then add the dressing, parmesan, and a good grind of black pepper. Chop again to mix it all together. You can add more dressing if you like things saucier.
  • Arrange the bagels. 
    Slice your bagels in half, then divide the chopped salad between them and enjoy.

Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES: You can add extra things to the salad if you like - try cucumber, tomatoes, red onion or pickles. If you'd like to cook your chicken from scratch, I recommend following the instructions for the chicken in this chicken Caesar salad recipe. 
SUBSTITUTIONS: Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese in the dressing if you prefer.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: The salad will keep for 3 - 4 days, stored in the fridge.
