  • Make your own Caesar dressing: It's easy to make your own Caesar dressing at home, and it tastes much better than store-bought dressing. Simply whisk together some mayonnaise, anchovies, lemon juice, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: When you're assembling the salad, don't overcrowd it. The ingredients should be evenly distributed so that each bite has a good mix of flavors and textures.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Caesar salad is best served immediately after it's made. The dressing will start to wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
