Notes
- Storage
- Storage
- Dressed Caesar salad is best served within an hour of being mixed. After, the lettuce begins to wilt and the croutons aren't as crunchy. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days (if using freshly made dressing), but note there will be some wilting.
- Dressing Amount
- Dressing Amount
- 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing is just enough so that everything has a nice coat, but you can use up to 1 cup for a very well dressed salad. Start with 1/2 cup and adjust to your taste and preference.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- You can of course use any store-bought favorites for our from scratch versions!
- Make Ahead
- Make Ahead
- This is a great salad to prep all of the ingredients ahead of time to just assemble when ready. Keep the dressing and croutons separate until just before serving.
