Caesars Wedge Salad Recipe
We all know and love a classic wedge salad. It usually has some crispy bacon along with some blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing right? Well, why not take that salad to the next level and make it with some deliciously fresh parmesan cheese and some homemade caesar dressing?!
The reason that I love caesar salads is because they are so versatile. The flavor and the ingredients seem to pair well with just about everything. And whipping it up with a wedge of lettuce really dresses it up and elevates your meal. Plus, the creamy caesar dressing adds in the absolute best flavor that will leave you wanting to lick your plate clean!
What’s In a Caesar Wedge Salad?
These ingredients are so simple and easy! Make your dressing ahead of time (it takes 5 minutes) and store it in your fridge. This makes a delightful lunch or even a starter before any meal. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- Butter Lettuce: I like to get miniature hearts (also known as little gems) for this wedge salad.
- Grape Tomatoes: Cut your tomatoes in half so that you get that fresh, juicy flavor in every bite!
- Authentic Caesar Dressing: You can make this at home with this easy recipe. Or, if you are short on time then you can just grab some from the store!
- Parmesan Cheese: I like to grate my parmesan fresh from the block. The flavor is stronger and really, fresh is always best!
How to Make a Caesar Wedge Salad
This recipe is only four simple steps! You will love how easy it is yet it looks so elegant on your plate. Even my kids love this salad so we make it all of the time at our house!
- Prep the Lettuce: Wash and dry the miniature butter lettuce hearts. With a sharp knife, cut in half length wise and set on a small plate. Repeat for the other lettuce hearts.
- Add tomatoes: Cut and divide the tomatoes among all four servings and then add them to each serving.
- Add a drizzle of dressing: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dressing on each lettuce wedge.
- Sprinkle on cheese: Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
