Caesar Salad is my personal favorite and easy to make salad prepared using lettuce, croutons, parmesan, crushed pepper and olive oil.
Eat healthy in less than ten minutes with this super fast and tasty caesar salad recipe. Salad not only satisfies your taste buds but also gives you the nutrition required.
This can be served alone for lunch or dinner or as side with pasta or soups. I generally prefer to have this as one full meal.
Lettuce is low in calorie, helps in weight loss, good source of dietary fiber and protein. Traditionally romaine lettuce is used in this salad. Some of my family friends prefer to use iceberg lettuce. However, in this recipe I have used artisan mini lettuces.The crispiness and bitterness of the lettuce combined with the garlic flavored croutons and parmesan makes this salad irresistible.
I love to keep my salad recipe as simple as possible. I have added the garlic flavored croutons and freshly grated parmesan in the recipe. You can also add worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic and fresh lime juice to this recipe if desired. You may always have to vary dressing of the salad depending on your taste.
