The Best Untraditional Caesar Salad Ever + Memorial Day Sales

I am a big fan of a GOOD Caesar Salad but they’re hard to find. So many have chunky croutons that seem to dominate the flavor, they’re over dressed and the cheese isn’t true Parmagiano Reggiano which makes a huge difference! This salad has all of the traditional elements minus one…anchovies and egg! Those two things are just aren’t my favorites and I honestly don’t think their flavor gives the salad anything extra! The dressing I used here is made with olive oil, mayo, mustard, Worchestershire sauce, lemon juice, finely grated Parmesan, salt, pepper and garlic. It is very delicious!

The other non traditional element of this salad is that I used toasted panko breadcrumbs that were sautéed with butter and crispy pancetta. These are the same breadcrumbs I use on my Lemony Garlic Pasta with the addition of pancetta, and they are so addictive that you might want to make extra to nibble on! I also stole the idea of using avocado from a California Caesar which only added more creaminess and flavor! I hope you love this salad as much as I do…keep scrolling for the recipe!

Doesn’t this salad look mouthwatering…I wish you could taste the picture! It’s so much easier to make than an traditional salad!

I have been wanting a Caesar Salad bowl for quite some time and my daughters gave me this gorgeous one for my birthday! I served the salad on dinner plates from Haand Ceramics and the salad looks so pretty on a white plate!
