Tips:

  • If you don't have a grill, you can roast the cherry tomatoes in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • For a more authentic Caesar salad dressing, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add a teaspoon of anchovy paste for a more pronounced flavor.
  • If you are using a store-bought Caesar salad dressing, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. Some dressings can be quite salty, so you may need to adjust the amount you use.
  • Add the croutons to the salad just before serving, so they don't get soggy. You can also use homemade croutons for a more flavorful salad.
