Caesar Salad Recipe
Report
A simple and delicious Caesar Salad Recipe that will thoroughly impress guests! Our recipe uses gem lettuce so you still get the crunch you would from romaine, but also the tenderness (similar to butter lettuce). We love this truly iconic and classic salad that's delicious enough to be eaten on its own, but versatile enough to be paired with tons of different dishes!

Ingredients
- 1 recipe Homemade Croutons
- 1/2 recipe caesar salad dressing
- 3 heads gem lettuce, trimmed and leaves separated (or 5 cups sliced romaine hearts)
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour dressing into a large mixing bowl .
- Add croutons and lettuce leaves.
- Toss together with tongs, until lettuce leaves and croutons are well and evenly coated.
- Top salad with remaining Parmesan and some black pepper. Serve.
Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Success
- Make sure your lettuce is clean and crisp! The best way to do this is to rinse your lettuce in cold water and to use a salad spinner to rid the leaves of excess water!
- Don't dress the salad until a few minutes before serving. This will ensure the lettuce and croutons remain crisp!
- Make the caesar salad dressing and croutons yourself! Although it may take a little more work, it's totally worth it to make your own croutons and caesar dressing. They will definitely elevate your salad!
- Add veggies and protein to bulk it up (using some of our suggestions from above!).
