Grilled Cajun Chicken Salad with Creamy Cajun Dressing… All I can say is that if you really love your family, this will be on tonights dinner plan!
Cajun spiced food is a family favourite, BUT, with most of the seasonings available in the supermarkets, there’s no controlling the amount of ‘hotness’ or ‘mildness’ — with hotness being the main problem if you can’t stand the heat. This Cajun seasoning can be easily adapted to your tastes and put on anything really. For today, it’s going on a salad with some of it going into a creamy dressing to keep the flavour going!
A mixture of paprika, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and a kick of cayenne adjusted to suit YOUR tastes buds, make this seasoning out of this world A.MAY.ZING.
Not wanting to taint the Cajun spiced chicken with a different flavoured dressing, we use a teaspoon of the same seasoning and mix it into a mixture of whole egg mayo and yogurt to cut calories without sacrificing on flavour. THIS DRESSING is the BEST part of the whole salad! I reserved a few teaspoons to smother on crackers later on because HELLO CAJUN SPICED DIP!
I used chicken thighs for this salad, but I have tried breasts with it as well and it is JUST AS GOOD!
