Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps with Bacon
ShareWhat’s better than a basic chicken Caesar salad? A wrap! Salty bacon takes this simple wrap over the top.
Did you have a nice 4th? We celebrated our oldest daughters 6th birthday! It was pretty low key, mostly hanging out together and opening presents… 95% books! She was thrilled and I’m happy to encourage reading as long as she’s interested, which is hopefully forever. Reading is good for the brain – and soul. I also took the girls to see Despicable Me 2. It was cute. They had a blast. Of course it could’ve gone smoother if the ticket guy had given us tickets to the showtime I’d asked for instead of an hour and forty five minutes later. Thankfully they let us go into the earlier show as I had wanted int he first place… found our seats in the dark too! Kind of a mess but still fun. Let that be a lesson to all – always double check your tickets to make sure you got what you asked for. Because I 110% know I told the guy the time and movie we wanted and he so clearly got it very wrong. Anyway…
We swam – or rather the kids did, because we still haven’t gone in the big pool but maybe today! We’ll see how the weather treats us. It’s so hit or miss lately – spotty storms, humid days, high heat, hot nights… you name it. I mean I’m totally not trying to complain because rain just plain stinks in the summer so I’m all for the sun and warmth! I’d just rather no humidity but I’ll take what I can get.
I’m also in a full on love affair with corn. It’s that time of year. I’m eating as much of it as I can while it’s fresh and juicy. We like to grill ours while other food is cooking. Slather that sucker with butter and a sprinkle of salt. So tasty. Have you tried any of the other corn varieties I’ve shared? >> FOUR ways with corn… FOUR!! So fun. So tasty. A must try. Trust me.
Of course you’re probably more interested in this wrap and let me tell you… It was so delicious that I’m craving one again right this very second. Of course I made this weeks ago so it’s totally acceptable to be craving it again. I’d crave this daily if someone would whip it up for me. I might have to start preparing chicken ahead so I can easily whip some of these tasty recipes up in a heartbeat. It’d probably make for more delicious and creative lunches around here, especially when I’m in a rut or in a hurry. It happens.
Freshly grilled chicken, tossed with romaine lettuce and creamy homemade Caesar dressing, all wrapped up and paired with strips of crisp salty bacon. It’s perfection. A refreshing and tasty summer wrap!

Bacon makes everything better, love it!
It totally does. Thanks Angie!
Wow, these look fantastic! What a perfect summertime dinner :)
Thanks so much! :)
Um.. Rachel this wrap is so perfect and summery and just awesome. I love all the flavors and the bacon. YUM!
Oh and it sounds like the perfect 4th!
I might have to add bacon to everything now ;)
THis looks so refreshing but also decadent. I love homemade caesar dressing on anything (and on everything!)
Right? So tasty.
Yep, could eat this every day for sure! Love the bacon addition, always! :)
It was necessary :)
I would eat this every day if I could…I just love Caesar salad with bacon. I’m definitely going to be making this soon as I’m craving it something fierce right now!
I hope you do! It’s too tasty not to.
I can dig it. This looks perfect Rachel. I’ve never made a homemade caesar dressing – where have I been?!
It’s so simple too! You’ve gotta get on that ;)
Rachel, these wraps look yummy. I need to borrow someone’s kid so I can see that movie. I love Disney movies. I would look out of place going all by my lonesome.
Haha! I swear you’d be okay going. The loudest people laughing were a bunch of ladies.
Dude, this is one delicious looking wrap! Can I have it for breakfast? :)
Duh of course… there’s bacon! ;)
This is awesome! It’s like a portable way to eat salad!
I was thinking that as I ate it. So perfect. :)
Caesar salad was the first salad I ever liked. Great idea to put it in a wrap.
It’s pretty irresistible!
Yum, I love this idea for a simple lunch during the week! The bacon makes it extra awesome :) When you get that pool open, don’t be surprised if I show up at your house to swim!
Oh it’s open… we just haven’t gone in yet lol Darn New England weather isn’t helping – hot, cold, hot, cold, rain rain rainnnnn.
oh my goodness–definitely making these soon!
Rachel this looks delicious!! These would be perfect for lunch or dinner!! Love the addition of the bacon!
I want to stick my face all up in there! Yummmm
This reminds me of what my husband used to always order at our favorite diner in Taichung, Taiwan. We’d go there a couple of times a week, and he almost always ordered the chicken caesar wrap. He lost 30 pounds during his wrap phase. Maybe I should try one, too.
Now you’ve got me really wanting to do a salad/wrap diet – at least for 1-2 meals a day. Breakfast would be odd… unless it were an egg wrap ;)
Happy belated birthday to your daughter. So glad to hear that she loves reading! Books are wonderful gifts for kids.
Chicken Caesar Wraps are one of my favourite lunch or light dinner choices. I always put bacon (loads of bacon) in my Caesar salads. I’m always disappointed when I order a Caesar at a restaurant and it arrives sans bacon :(
Thanks so much Paula! :) I’ve never seen bacon in a Caesar salad before but I’ll be sad when I order one and it’s not with it too! May have to ask for some ;)
Such a scrumptious idea for a healthy, quick lunch or dinner! Love it, Rachel!
Pass a fork, please!
i’m such a sucker for caesar salads and did you know that i ALWAYS get a caesar wrap whenever i see there’s on available?? yessss..totally funny cause i could make this ate home butttt i prefer the easy route ;)
lol easy route being the dressing or not in a wrap? Either way… still tasty. Caesar is one of my favs, if not *the* fav :)
Oh yum. I could eat Caesar salad daily!
What a nice, refreshing, summer meal!
Yum! This wrap looks delicious! I could eat this for lunch everyday! You had me at BACON ♥
