We took a beautiful drive today through the Colorado mountains and on a little dirt road through Phantom Canyon - CO Hwy 67. I'll post photos of that tomorrow in another post, as they really deserve a write up all of their own! We were exhausted afterward and K went in for a nap. With little motivation for anything more than leftover Chang's Spicy Chicken from lunch yesterday, I took some chicken from the freezer and started thawing.
While K napped, I added some curry powder, cumin, garlic salt, and coriander to the chicken, rubbed it in and left the chicken to marinate. After K woke up and put the chicken on the grill, I made the dressing and prepped the salads. Yum!!! Next time, I might make a yogurt marinade with the curry and let the chicken marinate overnight to really allow the flavors to marry, but yum. I love this anyway.

This is my father's recipe for Ceasar dressing, and I absolutely love it!
