Author's Tips

This Caesar salad recipe is a fantastic side for a festive dinner, but lately, I've been loving it even as a standalone dish. It's perfect, fresh, yet satisfying.

If you're wondering how many calories are in Caesar salad - few (~44 calories per serving), so don't hesitate to combine it with other dishes.

This is the original Caesar salad recipe with an option for a bit more nutrition by adding chickpeas. If you prefer the classic, just don't add it.

Main Ingredients for Caesar Salad

Lettuce: In this recipe, I use torn Romaine lettuce for a classic Caesar salad. You can also use leaves from different types of lettuce or iceberg lettuce.

Parmesan: It's best if you use a fresh block of Parmesan instead of packaged. Something I really love to add to every salad, to be honest, are "Parmesan crisps", which you can find in any supermarket. Besides being not as expensive as block Parmesan, they are also very easy to use; just sprinkle them over the salad and you're done.

Caesar Dressing: This homemade dressing is worth the extra 5 minutes it takes to prepare.

Caesar Dressing

My version is very easy and just as good as the traditional one. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, mustard, and black pepper. You'll get a creamy, rich mixture that's just as zesty and delicious as the classic version.

Notes

To make this recipe vegan, skip the cheese and replace the Caesar dressing with this vegan dressing:

1 clove garlic 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons mustard 2 teaspoons capers, drained ½ cup water Freshly ground black pepper

In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, capers, water, and a few twists of black pepper.

Blend until creamy.

Serving Tips for Caesar Salad

With its rich dressing, this Caesar salad recipe can easily be a standalone dish. However, it also makes a wonderful side. Serve it with your favorite protein or pair it with some of these vegetarian main dishes:

Whether you're bringing it to a gathering or packing it for lunch, this Caesar salad recipe is great for meal prep. Toast the croutons, mix the dressing, and prepare the vegetables in advance. Then store the components separately until you're ready to eat. If you're prepping it ahead of time, bake the chickpeas at the last moment or skip them and add a few extra croutons instead. The chickpeas are best when freshly roasted!
