How to Elevate a Caesar Salad Kit + Bottled Dressing 

Share:

Sides

This is one of my favorite ways to make store bought ingredients taste elevated and homemade. Keep this tip in your back pocket the next time you’re hosting or simply want a delicious salad with minimal effort. The crouton crumb is truly a pro move, and gives this insanely amazing texture to the salad. Thank me later. ??

CAESAR DRESSING
ROMAINE LETTUCE or CAESAR KIT
LEMON JUICE
FRESHLY GRATED PARMESAN
FLAKY SALT + PEPPER
CROUTON CRUMB

Mix it all super well and top with more parm, salt and pepper, and crouton crumb.

Enjoy!
