Crisp heads of Little Gem lettuce are the perfect size for individual servings. They make a lovely presentation when sliced in half and drizzled with our easy Caesar salad dressing, shards of Parmesan cheese and crushed, crunchy croutons.
Rinse the Little Gem lettuce heads under cold tap water, drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice each head in half and place two halves on each of 4 chilled salad plates.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of Caesar salad dressing onto each serving, add shards of Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of croutons to each serving.
Notes
To drain the water from the rinsed lettuce heads of lettuce, tip them upside-down in a soup bowl lined with a thick pad of paper towels and let drain for 5 minutes.
Smaller croutons work better in this salad than the large chunks of croutons. To lightly crunch, add to a sandwich bag and whack with a rolling pin or can of tomatoes.
The Caesar salad dressing is a quick 5-minutes in a blender or jar with the stick blender.
