Caesar Salad Reigns
CAESAR SALAD REIGNS THE TAMPA TRIBUNE
Chill salad plates and forks for an elegant ser-
ing.
After cleaning wooden salad bowls, rub with
garlic cloves to enhance the flavor.
The best Caesar is made with the inner green and
white leaves. To save time, wash greens,
dry and store in a large, plastic bag. Seal
the bag and store in the refrigerator.
If you do not want to serve a raw egg, use a
pasteurized egg product such as Simply Eggs.
Or, some cooks prefer to coddle the egg by cook-
ing one minute in gently boiling water.
Card 1 Back:
Croutons can be made from Italian bread, crusty
rolls or baguettes. The more the crust,
the better. There are also fat-free crou-
tons in some markets.
Buy good-quality Parmesan Cheese and grate it
yourself or in the food processor. Freeze
extra for quick use.
Personalize salads with shrimp, fish, chicken,
oysters or other topping.
