Ceasar Salad With Roasted Capers image

Just perfect for something out of the ordinary but still familiar. The capers replace the croutons for a more contemporary version. Serve as a side salad or make it more of a meal by topping with some cooked chicken strips & crusty bread and you've got yourself a divine meal!

The croutons were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I will toast them for a bit longer next time.

I found the dressing to be a bit too thick. I added a little bit of water to thin it out.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will omit the salt next time.

Easy and delicious! I used store-bought croutons and shaved Parmesan, and it still turned out amazing.
