YOGURT-BASED CAESAR DRESSING:
- It will make the dressing creamy and tangy and also add protein to the dish.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Add the parmesan cheese to add a nutty and salty taste to the dish. It will nicely pair with the Cesar dressing and chicken. We have to grate it fresh to add good taste.
CROUTONS:
