Author Notes
I'm the salad person in our family and I'm always asked to bring one. Caesar with homemade croutons is definitely the most popular. The version I make has a lemony dressing that doesn't hold back on flavor. Good with romaine or kale. I usually catch my brother-in-law wiping the empty bowl with a piece of bread at the end of the meal:) —Laurie
