Hands down the best salad ever ever ever??
I am so addicted…the sauce, the CHEESE, the croutons…it’s so good!

I like a tuna mayo salad and Greek salad, but Cesar salad is the Goat

Sorry for the boring post 🤣

Love a chicken caesar salad (team no anchovy!) and a chicken caesar wrap as well.

Second for me is a goats cheese salad 😋

Heinz

You must try Cardini’s dressing.

Next. Level.

Aldi do nice bowls of both caesar and feta salads in their sandwich fridge-I sometimes chuck them in a wrap/add a fresh baguette and add bits - olives or bacon, as they are cheap as chips. No anchovies except the sauce.

Yes! I’ve had from Lidl too

Oh shush, yes it is, let me enjoy it

It's not though. Enjoy your salad, but don't claim it's a Caesar salad when it's not!

The real, traditional. Caesar salad contained Worcestershire sauce which contains anchovies 😉 adding whole fish is a bit modern twist now.

I agree wholeheartedly.

No anchovies for me, but I’ll have some super crispy, air fried bacon scattered over the top….nothing but class in our house 😃

Horrified by Heinz dressing and no anchovies 😭
but I agree that the Caesar is one of my favourite salads. Along with chicken bacon and avocado and a tuna nicoise. Yum 😋

Very nice but I like a Vietnamese salad- nutty, spicy, limey.

We love a burger bowl with burger sauce at home too.

I remember my first ever Caesar Salad - 30 years ago at a food market in Canada (I was on a work trip, none of us had ever had it). To this day it remains THE BEST ONE EVER although I’ve had some lovely ones since. I’ve made my own dressing sometimes too and, OMG, it’s delicious.

Nicoise is my second favourite.

Really want one now 😭

Nicoise salad or Lyonnaise salad (curly lettuce, bacon, poached egg, garlic,croutons, melting goat's cheeseand a lovely vinaigrette!)
Caesar is nice too...And so is a Greek one.

Homemade croutons in airfryer are 👌👌 though...cubed bread (focaccia/ciabatta or the like), olive oil and salt. Perfection!

Huge caesar salad fan here!

How do you make these please? Dunk in olive oil before airfrying?

Not dunk, you dont want them saturated. Just toss in a bowl while drizzling it over.

It truly is, def try it.

No anchovies here, or croutons (wheat intolerance) - I add cashews instead. I usually have it without meat, but it can be good with salmon. 😋

I had one with cold roasted salmon in a Fuller's Pub down south, and it was a game changer.

The fat white anchovies!!!! ALWAYS!! For the love of all that is holy, NEVER, EVER those evil bony brown shrivelled up salty miserable excuses for fish. They are alright ground up and used sparingly into a caesar dressing, but NEVER on top of a caesar salad .

It’s the cheese what does it though 😋

I made one last night, but had the sauce from a bottle, I literally poured almost all of it on and later was licking some poured on a spoon as I wanted more 😫that taste

Sigh. Caesar sauce from a bottle? No anchovies? WTAF…

I love, love, LOVE a proper Caesar salad. However, there are many other absolutely delicious salads. Salad Nicoise has been mentioned. Then there’s Tabbouleh, Fatoush, Greek salad, Asian seafood salad…….. and many more.

The thing about salads is the variety. Pretty much anything can be turned into a salad. I love massive salads!!!

I love a Caesar salad with chicken and anchovies. I don’t mind bacon or ham either.
I will not stand for the horror of finding an egg in it though 😤

It's not a real Caesar salad if it doesn't contain anchovies.

The ‘real’ Caesar salad only had anchovies in the Worcestershire sauce used to make the dressing in the original recipe, no anchovies other than that.

i don’t mind the anchovies which are sometimes included in the dressing in the more modern version, but I definitely don’t want them draped across the salad.

likelysuspect · Yesterday 23:11

I also like a salmon fillet on it instead of chicken

RomeAnts · Yesterday 23:13

Op they have a new ceasar salad dip in m&s. It's my new favourite thing. Delish.
