3 Reasons You’ll Love This Salad Recipe
Caesar Wedge Salad Ingredients
LETTUCE: You’ve got options! I prefer romaine hearts, but iceberg or little gem lettuce works well, too. For iceberg, cut it into quarters, and for romaine, slice the hearts in half.
CAESAR DRESSING: Whether homemade or store-bought, go with what you love. You’ll find my easy Caesar dressing recipe below, but feel free to use your favorite!
CROUTONS: Homemade or store-bought both work, but I recommend crumbling them up for easier eating and that perfect crunch.
PARMESAN CHEESE: Shredded, grated, or shaved—any variety of parmesan will do!
BLACK PEPPER: Don’t skip freshly ground black pepper. A pinch on top adds the perfect finishing touch to these wedge salads.
How to Make a Caesar Wedge Salad:
- Cut your Romaine Hearts in half, longways. Rinse well and pat dry.
- Drizzle on your Caesar dressing with a spoon.
- Add on parmesan cheese, crumbled croutons and black pepper. Enjoy!
- P.S. If you want, you can squeeze on a little fresh-squeezed lemon juice just before serving.
Now, these are perfect for prepping in advance of dinner parties, but don’t assemble until ready to serve. You can pre-cut your lettuce and have the rest of the ingredients ready to go. Assembling the wedge salads takes mere minutes.
What to Serve with Caesar Wedge Salads:
This Caesar Wedge Salad is the perfect side for grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, or just about any main dish. I love it for lunch or dinner because it’s so versatile and way more exciting than your basic Caesar salad. It’s an easy way to add a little extra flair to any meal!
