Caesar Salad

I’m going to call it – Caesar salad is an ache to make, calling for an inordinate quantity of pots and pans to be dirtied inside the name of just one salad.

Food processor for the dressing – and the mayo makes it all greasy and dirty which is so difficult to clean.

• Baking tray for the croutons
• Skillet for the bacon
• Cutting board

• Serving bowl

All that for just One salad.

And yet, we do it. Because it’s so worth the taste and comfort which we get from this salad. And oh the creamy dressing is so worth the mess!
