Tips:

  • Prep the lettuce ahead of time: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves in advance and store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use a creamy and flavorful dressing: The dressing is the key to a great Caesar salad. Make sure to use a high-quality olive oil and Parmesan cheese, and don't skimp on the garlic and lemon juice.
  • Add some crunch: Croutons or crispy bacon are a great way to add some crunch and texture to your salad. You can also add some shaved Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper.
  • Serve immediately: Caesar salad is best served immediately after it's made. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
