Now I love a good Caesar salad as much as the next girl, but I was really in the mood to experiment this week. I had some broccolini in the fridge that was starting to yellow and decided to give one of my favorite salads a little twist.
This roasted broccolini kimchi caesar is my slightly unconventional take on the classic.
The broccolini gets roasted until tender and charred around the edges, then tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing with a little kimchi and gochujang for some heat, tang, and extra depth. It has everything I love about a classic Caesar, but with a fun little twist that makes it feel completely different.
And because every good Caesar needs a little crunch, I made these sesame parmesan crisps to use in place of traditional croutons or breadcrumbs. They’re salty, nutty, crispy, and honestly so good on their own that I had to stop myself from eating them straight off the tray. I wanted to keep that crunchy element that makes a Caesar so satisfying, and these were the perfect addition.
This is one of those recipes that feels a little fancy without actually requiring much effort. Serve it alongside dinner, make it the main event with some crispy chicken, or just eat it straight from the bowl. No judgment here!
