CAESAR SALAD SUPREME
I got this recipe from another recipe site. We love Caesar Salads at restaurants and this is a very easy and delicious one to make at home! I altered a few things such as adding fresh grated parmesan at the end to suit our tastes. I also used light mayo and cut down on the olive oil to cut the fat content a little. The result is a very decent Caesar Salad! I like to serve this salad with a good steak or lasagna.

Tips:
- Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Caesar salad.
- Make sure your lettuce is cold and crisp before assembling the salad. This will help it hold up better and prevent it from wilting.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh. Pre-grated cheese will not have the same flavor or texture as freshly grated cheese.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will add a rich, nutty flavor to the dressing.
- Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling it. This will prevent the dressing from making the lettuce soggy.
