Ingredients

12 wonton wrappers

2 1/2 cups romaine (cos) lettuce, shredded

1 cup cooked chicken, diced

1/4 cup bread, diced finely (preferably stale)

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated

2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Salt, to taste

Olive oil spray

Dressing:

1 garlic clove, minced

2 anchovy fillets

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup mayonnaise, preferably whole egg

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Milk, as needed to adjust consistency

1/4 teaspoon salt

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil.
  2. Press wonton wrappers into muffin cups to form shells. Spray lightly with olive oil.
  3. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
  4. Toss diced bread with olive oil and salt, then bake until golden to make croutons.
  5. Blend garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, mayonnaise, parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth. Thin with milk if needed.
  6. In a bowl, toss lettuce, chicken, croutons, and parmesan with Caesar dressing.
  7. Spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Bake wonton cups ahead of time and store airtight for up to 2 days.

Assemble cups just before serving to keep them crisp.

Use crispy bacon instead of chicken, or skip meat for vegetarian.

Swap some mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.

Air-fry wonton wrappers at 350°F for 6–7 minutes as an alternative.
