Ingredients

For the Fries

1 bag Frozen French Fries The base for crispy texture; substitute with homemade fries if desired.
1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; adjust to taste based on personal preference.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds aromatic savory notes.
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Provides heat and depth.
1 teaspoon Paprika Gives a touch of smokiness and color.

For the Salad

4 cups Romaine Lettuce Offers freshness and crunch; feel free to swap for kale or spinach.

1/2 cup Mayo Acts as a creamy base; Greek yogurt can be used for a healthier alternative.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps blend the dressing ingredients.
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Provides tanginess.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss frozen French fries with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the seasoned fries evenly in the basket and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway for even cooking.
In a bowl, whisk together mayo, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and extra Parmesan cheese until creamy.
In another bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, remaining Parmesan cheese, and cooked chicken. Drizzle Caesar dressing, tossing gently.
Transfer crispy fries to a serving plate and layer the Caesar salad on top, finishing with additional grated Parmesan.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunch; consider serving with additional dressing for dipping.
