Préparation
Preparation of Ingredients
Thoroughly wash the young shoots and gently spin them dry to preserve their freshness and texture. Slice the apples into thin pieces, keeping the skin for added crunch and color. Coarsely chop the walnuts to release their aromas. Scrub the baby potatoes and cook them in salted water until tender, then set aside.
Cooking the Chicken and Baby Potatoes
Heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the chicken fillets over medium heat until they achieve a nice golden color. The cooking should be controlled to keep the center tender. Season with salt and pepper, then let rest before slicing. In the same pan, lightly sauté the baby potatoes to make them crispy on the outside.
Preparation of Truffle Sauce
In a bowl, mix the mustard, mayonnaise, and black truffle-flavored balsamic vinegar. Add the finely chopped garlic, then incorporate the truffle-infused olive oil. Gently emulsify to obtain a creamy and fragrant sauce, balanced between sweetness, acidity, and intensity.
Gourmet Plating with Summer Truffle
In a large salad bowl, mix the young shoots with the sauce. Add the slices of chicken, apples, warm potatoes, and pieces of blue cheese. Sprinkle with walnuts for crunch. Finish by generously grating fresh summer truffle over the entire dish to elevate the salad with an elegant and refined aromatic touch.

Add the truffle at the last moment to preserve all the delicacy of its aromas. For an even more indulgent sauce, incorporate a few drops of truffle juice into your homemade Caesar dressing. Serve the salad slightly chilled, but never too cold, to fully reveal the flavors.

How to Make Homemade Caesar Dressing?
Homemade Caesar dressing is prepared with egg yolk, oil, parmesan, anchovies, and lemon. It should be emulsified to achieve a creamy texture, balanced between richness and character.
Can You Replace Chicken in a Caesar Salad?
Yes, you can replace chicken with shrimp, salmon, or even a vegetarian version with grilled vegetables. This allows for adaptation of the Caesar salad recipe according to preferences while maintaining its indulgent spirit.
When to Add Truffle to a Salad?
Truffle should be added at the end of preparation or right at the plating stage. This preserves the subtlety of its aromas and enhances a truffle Caesar salad without altering its fragrance.
How to Make a Caesar Salad Lighter?
You can lighten homemade Caesar salad by replacing part of the oil with yogurt or reducing the amount of parmesan. The texture remains pleasant while adding more freshness.
