Notes

  • *Homemade caesar salad dressing recipe*
  • I like storing this filling in the fridge and allowing it to get cold before serving in the lettuce leaves
  • If you like a little heat add chili flakes that are toasted on the pan
  • If you don’t have baby lettuce gems, you can use any the smallest lettuce head
    Swap the croutons with toasted nuts to keep this recipe gluten free
