Hi, everyone :) Today we’re going to show you how to make a perfect Caesar Salad at home.
Caesar salad is the one we used to order at restaurant or purchase at store. It’s simple but delicious. The secret to a perfect Caesar salad is three inseparable elements, they are caesar dressing, romaine lettuce and garlic croutons.
As I know, many people buy Caesar salad dressing in bottle, but believe in me, homemade is super easy and taste better than bottle. In addition to romaine lettuce and the caesar dressing, croutons make the salad some taste and have the crisp texture. The best croutons is homemade by yourself.
The Caesar Salad is quick and simple, you can prepare it in advance, then assemble it when you’re ready to serve. Hope you enjoy this video. :)
