About This Recipe:
All hail the Ceasar salad! Ceasar salads are probably the most popular salads at restaurants, and it’s easy to see why. The dressing is super creamy, salty, and cheesy, and the chunky croutons are just the cherry on top. To make the dressing a bit lighter, I only use 2 tbls of Parmesan and 1/3 cup of olive oil in the dressing. Most recipes call for quite a bit more, but feel free to adjust it however you’d like. This would make a great side dish, or main course with some grilled chicken or shrimp on top.
Enjoy!
