Caesar salad has always been a favorite. Despite that fact, we just never loved green salad. We know, it’s super healthy and probably a good idea to eat more of it, but so many salads are just bland and not overly exciting. Luckily, Caesar salad is one we could always get excited about when eating out! There’s something about that rich and creamy dressing with crispy croutons and parmesan cheese – yum! You’re going to love it!
Parmesan Cheese:
You can either freshly shred or grate some parmesan cheese or buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated parmesan from the refrigerator section in your local grocery store. You want to avoid the powdered or shelf-stable parmesan cheeses as they are low quality with several additives.
Can I use store-bought caesar salad dressing?
You can always use store bought in a pinch, but nothing tastes quite like freshly made caesar salad dressing. If you plan to use store-bought dressing, this recipe will need 2 cups of it.
Where are the eggs?
We know a lot of people are squeamish over raw eggs, so we developed this recipe without them to give you all one less thing to worry about.
Anchovies:
Anchovies are a classic ingredient in caesar salad dressing, and are completely necessary. If you don’t want to deal with those teeny filets, go ahead and substitute with 2 tablespoons of anchovy paste.
Storage Instructions:
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for approximately 3 days. How long your salad stays fresh will largely depend on how fresh your romaine and dressing ingredients were. The croutons will start to soften the longer it is in the fridge. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious salad recipes:
