The poor Caesar has a bad reputation, thanks to North America. I swear we dump mayonnaise in everything. This is what a Caesar Salad SHOULD BE.
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil. you can add 1 tablespoon fat-free sour cream for a creamier version.
- wash and dry torn up romaine leaves. always romaine.
- toss with dressing.
- sprinkle with croutons and bacon, always worthy additions.
- top with salt and ground black pepper to taste, and slivers of parmesan.
GARLIC CROUTONS?
toss old stale bread in a frying pan with olive oil and some garlic and herbs. store-bought croutons suck.
THE MANY USES OF THE MIGHTY CAESAR:
Make lettuce wraps! stuff with chicken and dressing and cheese.
Yes, you can barbeque lettuce.
Make a pasta salad!
or a Panini. grilled to perfection. any sandwich really.
Wrap it up in a tortilla, grilled chicken is a match made in Salad heaven.
Bring to your next BBQ or Potluck event. You can serve Caesar salad with anything, and even salad-haters love caesar.
And finally, dress it up! You can add boiled eggs, prosciutto, bacon, tomatoes, different cheeses, chicken, shrimp, just about anything.
