Why You'll Love This Recipe

Some weeknights, I would be nice of salads could basically make itself. That's exactly where this easy Caesar Salad earns its place in your kitchen. It's the kind of recipe you'll make once and then wonder why didn’t I make this sooner?!

This isn't your average bagged store-bought salad. Its freshly sliced lemon adds a freshness that salads from a bag just can't touch, while the salty bacon bits and freshly ground parmesan and crunchy croutons give it that warm, savoury depth that makes everything taste a little more special — even a simple Tuesday night.

The best part? No cooking required! Just chop a few veggies, cheese top with bacon bits and you’re done!
