Chicken Caesar Salad is a classic dish at most restaurants. It’s also a family favorite in households across America. We spiced up this classic dish with Cedar smoked chicken. The fragrant, spicy smoke from the Cedar wood adds a special touch to this dish and makes it an even better backyard BBQ summer salad.
