Caesar Salad can be simple, quick, delicious, and economical if you know how to make the right tweaks. I’ll show you how in this easy Caesar Salad recipe.
In a small bowl combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, and garlic. Blend well. Add the olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Whisk well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
1 lemon, 3 tablespoon mayonnaise, 3 clove garlic, ¼ cup olive oil, dash Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lemon juice or garlic as needed.
In a large salad bowl, place the lettuce and toss with the dressing. Sprinkle on cheese and croutons, toss again.
1 head romaine lettuce, 3 oz Parmesan cheese (shredded), 1 cup croutons
Serve immediately.
Notes
Stock up on ingredients when they are on sale. Parmesan is the high ticket item here. Buy it when you find it on sale. I buy big blocks of it at Costco for a cheap price. I also use Asiago or Romano if they are cheaper.
Make your own dressings. I’m sure you’ve got plenty of salad recipes that call for bottled dressing. Those bottles are either way too expensive or full of junk. Make your own and save money.
Make your own croutons. Do not waste money on boxed croutons when you can make your own for pennies.
