This vibrant red leaf Caesar salad offers a colourful and nutritious twist on the traditional steakhouse favourite. By using tender red leaf lettuce instead of the usual Romaine, the dish gains a delicate texture and a boost of antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for a heart-healthy lunch or a sophisticated starter. The homemade dressing is sharp and savoury, providing a perfect contrast to the slightly bitter leaves and the rich, salty notes of the Parmesan.
To elevate the recipe, the bread is rubbed with fresh garlic and grilled until golden before being topped with a bubbling layer of cheese. These warm, rustic croutons add a satisfying crunch that makes the salad feel substantial enough for a light main course. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced, protein-rich meal that doesn't compromise on flavour.
