Directions

1. Prepare chicken in advance or use a precooked rotisserie chicken to save time. Be sure to choose one with limited additives and keep in mind some stores may add sugar that would increase the carbohydrate count for the recipe.
2. In a blender, combine, yogurt, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, olive oil, anchovies, tamari, garlic, mustard and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
3. Plate salads with a pile of romaine and chicken slices. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dressing on each plate and top with additional shredded Parmesan cheese, crunchy almonds and fresh cracked pepper.

Notes: Any remaining dressing can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container.
