Caesar Salad With Cheesy Croutons & Saputo Parmesan Shreds

Share recipe:

Ingredients

For the Caesar salad dressing:

  • 250 mL (1 cup) mayonnaise
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) capers
  • 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 80 mL (⅓ cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
For the cheesy croutons:
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) butter
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 mL (¼ tsp) salt
  • 2 mL (½ tsp) freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices crusty bread, cut into 1” cubes
  • 250 mL (1 cup) Saputo Parmesan Shreds
For assembly:
  • 2 romaine lettuce hearts, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 750 mL (3 cups) arugula
  • Saputo Parmesan Shreds
  • Cooked chicken breast (optional)
     

     

Directions

  1. For the Caesar salad dressing: In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine all ingredients and purée with a stick blender until smooth (a regular blender can also be used).
  2. For the cheesy croutons: In a large non-stick frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in the bread cubes and toss to coat. Toast until golden, about 5–7 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle 1 cup Saputo Parmesan shreds over the hot croutons, tossing to distribute evenly. 
  3. For the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss romaine, arugula, half of the croutons, and half of the dressing. Serve with remaining croutons, extra Saputo Parmesan shreds, and chicken (if using) on the side, to be added as desired.
