Photo: Caesar Salad with Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing and Parmesan Crisp Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan, plus 1/4 cup
- 3/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 cloves roasted garlic
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (10-ounce) bag chopped romaine hearts
- 1 cup seasoned croutons
- Special equipment: 3-inch ring mold or clean tuna can with top and bottom removed
Directions
Preheat broiler.
To make Parmesan crisp: place 3-inch ring mold on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan into mold. Repeat 3 more times so there are 4 separate parmesan disks. Lay out crisps on a foil covered pan. Place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes watching carefully until Parmesan turns golden brown. Remove from broiler and let cool.
In a blender combine Caesar dressing, roasted garlic cloves and mayonnaise. Blend on medium speed until creamy.
In a large bowl, add romaine, 1/4 cup Parmesan and croutons. Toss with salad dressing.
Carefully peel Parmesan crisps from foil.
Serve on chilled plates with Parmesan crisps upright in salad.

I haven't tried this recipe yet but definitely will. Just wanted to know where is the recipe cited by Cidergeorge for grilled chicken breast combo?
When watching the tv show in which this recipe was featured, Sandra Lee didn't use mayonnaise. Why not?

This was the best I have ate. I never really ate Ceasar Salad but I loved this twist. My husband asked me to make it again sometime and that usually never happens.

I added more roasted garlic than it called for and I only used about half the amount of dressing that was made; I think I would have ended up with caesar 'soup' if I'd used it all! The parmesan crisps were also a big hit. I'll definitely make this again and again!
