Caesar Salad 恺撒沙拉

Love Caesar salad, absolutely love it. Made this for dinner last Sunday and we each had a big bowl of salad and shared some soup. I used Cardini's salad dressing, which is good but a tad too salty. My colleague Yvonne suggested to add some mayonnaise to the dressing to sweeten it.

B and I have always thought Caesar salad has something to do with Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome. ~The silly bees~. It's actually named after Caesar Cardini, an Italian-born Mexican who first made the salad and dressing in his restaurant in 1924. Read more about Cardini here.

This is my bowl of Caesar salad.


Ingredients
1 cos lettuce, washed and coarsely cut
1/2 cup caesar salad dressing
BBQ turkey/chicken, shredded
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
2 strips bacon
Croutons - 2 slices bread, cubed

Method

To make croutons, preheat oven to 200°C. Spread butter on bread cubes and bake in oven for 5-8 minutes or until golden.

Fry bacon in frying pan till crispy. Remove and drain on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
