Tips:

  • For a crispy salad, use romaine lettuce hearts. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and wash them thoroughly before assembling the salad.
  • Use a high-quality Caesar dressing. You can make your own or use a store-bought dressing. If you are making your own, use fresh ingredients and whisk the dressing until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add plenty of Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the salad. You can use grated Parmesan or shaved Parmesan.
  • Add some croutons for a crunchy texture. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own. To make your own croutons, cut a baguette into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Top the salad with some freshly ground black pepper. Black pepper adds a little bit of spice to the salad and helps to balance out the other flavors.
