From your shelf
- one 10 oz package ultimate caesar romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup caesar dressing
- 1 cup artisan-style croutons
- 1/4 cup shaved parmesan romano
- to taste black pepper premium kit
Staples
- to taste salt
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 1 cup of croutons into the dry pan and toast, shaking often, until they are warm and crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of dressing over the lettuce and toss until every leaf is coated.
- Add the warm croutons and 1/4 cup of shaved parmesan romano to the salad and toss gently to combine. Divide between two plates.
- Crack black pepper from the premium kit over each plate to taste, add a pinch of salt, and serve at once.
Note No swaps needed here. Leftover dressed salad wilts within an hour, so dress only what you serve. A grilled chicken breast, white bean, or hard-boiled egg turns this into a heartier dinner.
