Classic Caesar Salad

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Salads
Contrary to myths, this salad wasn't created by Julius Caesar but by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini in Mexico, 1924. The original recipe is all about emulsion: the creaminess of dressing coating crisp romaine leaves. A true texture play: crisp leaf, creamy dressing, crunchy crouton, juicy meat.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice chicken, season with salt and pepper. Fry in hot skillet with 1 tbsp oil until golden on both sides, then rest before cutting.

Tip: Resting lets juices redistribute, keeping meat moist.
2 ✓

Toast bread cubes in remaining oil in skillet until crispy.

Tip: Can flavor croutons with garlic, but add at the end so it doesn't burn.
3 ✓

Wash lettuce and spin or shake completely dry. Tear into bite-sized pieces.

Tip: Dressing slides off wet lettuce, diluting flavors.
4 ✓

Toss leaves with dressing in a large bowl. Ensure every leaf is coated.

Tip: Tossing by hand is gentlest and most effective.
5 ✓

Serve topped with chicken, croutons, and parmesan shavings.

Tip: Consume immediately!

Recipe FAQ

Why did salad wilt?
You mixed it with dressing too early. Salt and acid break down leaves. Toss just before serving!
Can I use iceberg?
You could, but the soul of Caesar is the slightly bitter taste and crunch of Romaine.
