Long live the Caesar salad! Our version, including our take on its famous dressing, will rival that of any great restaurant (in our not-so-humble opinion!). Crispy bacon, sourdough croutons, and Italian-style cheese are just a few elements of what makes this salad so amazing!

  1. CRISPY CROUTONS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baguette chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, and season. Bake in the hot oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy, shifting halfway.

  2. BRING THE CRISP

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, add the bacon chunks and fry for 2-4 minutes, until golden and crispy, shifting as it colours. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  3. GREEN KEEN BEANS

    Boil the kettle. Submerge the halved green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion.

  4. DRESSED TO THE NINES

    In a blender, add the caesar dressing, the lemon juice (to taste), the grated cheese, the drained Anchovies (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Pulse until smooth and well combined. On completion, loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  5. SCRUMPTIOUS SALAD!

    In a salad bowl, toss the shredded leaves, the halved baby tomatoes, and the blanched green beans. Top with the crispy bacon chunks and the croutons. Drizzle over the creamy dressing. Finish with a garnish of the cheese ribbons. Your feast awaits!
