Caesar Salad

Caesar salad is always a hit. I make it very often for parties or sometimes on just a random shabbat. If you want to really cheat, buy the store bought dressing otherwise make this easy at home dressing to go along with the salad.

Ingredients
  • One bag romaine lettuce
  • 1 carton cherry tomatoes halved (optional)
  • Homemade croutons (see below) or a bag of store bought

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 fresh lemon juiced
  • 2-3 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard. (brown will work if you don't have dijon)

Croutons

Take any leftover bread you have and cut into cubes and place on a baking sheet. sprinkel with garlic powder, onion powder, and italian seasoning. Spray with a misto and bake for ten minutes. Let cool and Voila croutons without the preservatives.

To make the salad combine ingredients. Mix the dressing ingredients together and pur over salad. Toss and Enjoy. For a real treat. Grill some checkine breasts, slice them and place over the top and you have a meal in a bowl.
