Here’s a classic Caesar Salad recipe for you:
Ingredients:
Optional: Grilled chicken breast, cooked and sliced
Instructions:
Prepare the Dressing: If you’re making homemade Caesar dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste (or anchovies), lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce. Pour the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss until the leaves are evenly coated.
Add Croutons and Parmesan: Sprinkle the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese over the dressed lettuce. Toss again to distribute the toppings evenly throughout the salad.
Squeeze Lemon Juice: Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salad. This adds a fresh citrus flavor to enhance the dressing.
Season and Serve: Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preference. Optionally, you can add sliced grilled chicken breast for extra protein and flavor.
Serve: Divide the salad onto plates and serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course.
Enjoy your classic Caesar Salad!
