Little Gem Caesar Salad
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.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups of Little Gem lettuce
- 1 cup Caesar Salad Dressing
- 4 ounces Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup croutons lightly crushed
- Freshly ground salt and pepper
Instructions
- 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.
