Salad Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumber sliced
  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese shredded

Caesar Dressing

  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • First, gather your "seeds" (ingredients) and prepare your "soil" (a large bowl) for assembly.
  • Next, "plant" your cucumber, romaine lettuce, and cherry tomatoes by adding them to the bowl.
  • Then, "water" your salad with the homemade Caesar dressing. Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
  • After that, "fertilize" your salad with croutons and shredded Parmesan cheese, tossing gently to combine.
  • Finally, "harvest" and serve your freshly "grown" Cucumber Caesar Salad immediately to enjoy its crisp flavors.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can toast the croutons with a little garlic powder and olive oil. If you prefer a creamier dressing, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise. This recipe can also be customized with grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
