We love a substantial salad at Slimming World, especially in the warmer weather… and this dish is hard to top! We’ve loaded crispy air-fried potatoes with classic caesar salad – for all the flavour, plus extra filling power.

Caesar loaded potatoes recipe
serves 2
1½ Swips per serving
ready in 30 mins
What you need:
20 new potatoes, halved
2 large skinless and boneless chicken breasts
1 cal cooking spray
4 bacon medallions, cut into thin strips
15g Parmesan, grated
1 romaine lettuce
100g cherry tomatoes, halved
For the dressing:
100g fat-free natural fromage frais
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 level tsp mustard powder
juice of 1/2 lemon
What you do:
1. Start by halving the new potatoes. Place them in the air fryer, season with salt and pepper, and spray lightly with low-calorie cooking spray. Cook at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, dice the chicken breast and slice the bacon medallions. Spray a non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes, or until cooked through. Add the bacon and fry until crispy. Remove from the heat.
3. To make the dressing, whisk together the fromage frais, garlic, mustard powder and lemon juice.
4. Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the halved tomatoes and half of the dressing, then toss well to coat.
5. Add the cooked chicken and half of the crispy bacon to the salad and gently mix together.
6. Arrange the crispy potatoes on a serving plate and top with the Caesar salad mixture. Drizzle over the remaining dressing, then finish with the rest of the bacon, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
