Prepare the lettuce and shred 'en chiffonade'.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Cut 4 slices bread into small croutons. Remove the crust if you wish.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan and fry the croutons until golden brown.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Trim and chop the parsley then add to the lettuce.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Add the Caesar dressing and mix well.

Add the croutons and mix again briefly.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Finish with a few shavings of Parmesan. Your Caesar salad is ready.

Remarks

It is easy to adapt the Caesar dressing - with its many ingredients - to your own taste, so do try your own variations. It might not be the "real" recipe, but so what?
