If I see a Caesar salad on a menu, it’s over. I’m ordering it. And that is a bold statement considering. I rarely opt for a salad on a menu over other things, but Caesar salads hold a special place in my heart.
I’ve always thought they are one of the most elite menu items when they’re done well. But the truth is, they’re also one of the easiest things to get wrong. Too creamy, not enough lemon, not enough black pepper... and don’t get me started on the dressing to lettuce ratio because more often than not - it’s wrong.
To me, the perfect Caesar dressing should be bright, peppery, unapologetically lemony, and packed with Parmesan. So I started thinking: if the dressing is everyone’s favorite part anyway, why not turn it into a dip?
The result is something that tastes exactly like your favorite Caesar salad, but in snack form. It’s perfect for summer entertaining, happy hour, or honestly just standing in your kitchen with a head of little gem lettuce and calling it lunch.
