Homemade Caesar Salad Recipe

I’ve received a lot of requests for this HOMEMADE CAESAR SALAD RECIPE over the years. Surprisingly it’s relatively easy to make but it’s the combination of the fresh lettuce, creamy homemade dressing and croutons plus our crispy bacon that make this one salad such a keeper. Judging by all the positive comments I always get, there’s nothing better than a Caesar salad made from scratch and this one is certainly among the best.

Here are a few thoughts about preparing this popular salad:

INGREDIENT LIST
No surprises in our list of ingredients for this classic Caesar salad. Most are readily available at your local market. If you can, we suggest purchasing a quality Parmesan cheese, it just tastes better.

DRESSING
The BEST CAESAR DRESSING we’ve crafted for this recipe is what sets it apart from others. That said, feel free to make it your own. Adding a bit more garlic or a bit less Dijon may be more to your liking. Leaving the anchovies out might address a dietary concern. Adjust the recipe each time you make it until you figure your ideal taste profile out.

GARLIC CROUTONS
Making your own croutons for this salad recipe is a nice touch. They’re also easy to make from scratch. Watch our 1-minute video remembering croutons are also nice sprinkled on TOMATO SOUP too!

MAKIN’ BACON
Although we understand that bacon isn’t for everyone, we’re hoping you can try this recipe with the bacon, at least once. We specifically called for a thick-cut slab bacon because of the way it crisps up when oven-baked. It really is phenomenal in this recipe.

ALL DRESSED
The last thing – prepare, dress and serve this as soon as you make it. In my mind, there’s nothing worse than a limp, warm or muddled Caesar salad – it needs to hit the table with the lettuce super-crunchy. Promise me you won’t delay!

Additional menu items that pair perfectly with this classic salad: ROASTED LEG OF LAMB, OVEN-BAKED HAM and our extremely popular SIRLOIN TIP ROAST.

Make this recipe with confidence and in the end, you’ll be left with two things, an empty bowl and rave reviews! What better compliments than those?
