Helpful Tips
You can easily customize this salad by using your favorite vegetables. Try adding roasted carrots, asparagus, or mushrooms for added nutrients and flavor. If you prefer a lighter dressing, opt for a yogurt-based Caesar dressing. To save time, you can also use store-bought croutons or make your own by toasting bread cubes with a little olive oil and seasoning.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to maintain the salad’s freshness.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you’re out of Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano or Asiago make excellent alternatives. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free croutons or omit them entirely.
Pairings
This Caesar Salad with Roasted Vegetables pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, a chilled glass of sparkling lemon water complements the flavors nicely. Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a complete, balanced meal.
