19 Caesar Salad Recipes
Traditional Caesar salad is characterized by that tangy, so-good-that-it’s-addictive dressing made by combining egg, Worcestershire sauce, lemon, garlic, pepper, mustard, and anchovies— but that’s not the only way to do it. Different greens provide different flavor and you can add protein or additional citrus. If you’re crazy about Caesar salad, our variations will only add to your love of this classic dish!
