Salad Ingredients
- 4 miniature butter lettuce hearts (little gems)
- 1/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved and divided
- 1/2 cup authentic Caesar dressing, divided
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and thoroughly dry the miniature butter lettuce hearts. Cut each heart in half lengthwise and arrange them cut side up on individual small plates.
- Add Tomatoes: Halve the grape tomatoes, then divide them evenly among the four servings, placing them atop each lettuce wedge.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of authentic Caesar dressing evenly over each butter lettuce wedge to infuse flavor.
- Garnish with Cheese: Sprinkle each salad generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to finish and serve immediately for best freshness and taste.
Notes
- Use miniature butter lettuce hearts (little gems) for perfect-sized wedges that hold dressing well.
- For a lighter salad, adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to taste.
- Freshly grate Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated for superior flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately after dressing to maintain crispness of the lettuce.
- Add freshly ground black pepper or anchovies for a more traditional Caesar taste.
