Description
A classic Caesar salad featuring crisp romaine leaves, tangy creamy dressing, and nutty Parmesan, perfect for a light lunch or side dish.
Ingredients
- Romaine lettuce
- Caesar dressing
- Croutons
- Parmesan cheese
- Black pepper
- Lemon juice
Instructions
- Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl. Rinse and dry the leaves well so the dressing sticks and the salad stays crisp.
- Drizzle Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss to combine. Use tongs or clean hands to gently lift and turn the leaves so each piece gets a light coating.
- Add croutons and grated Parmesan cheese. There is no cooking required, but add toasted or homemade croutons for a warm, toasty crunch.
- Season with black pepper to taste and additional lemon juice if desired. Give the salad one final gentle toss and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and the croutons are crunchy. For variations, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp.
