  • Homemade caesar dressing, pan fried crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs and mushrooms makes this version the king of all caesars. One bite, and I'm sure you'll agree, this is the only way to eat this side dish. Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs is a worthy update to the classic.

    Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs

    When I'm at a restaurant, I generally choose the caesar when offered a side. Of the three usual options, caesar is my go-to. It's not as filling as the soup and the side salad is, well, boring. Now, a good caesar salad in my opinion has to have fresh crunchy greens, a garlicky dressing, bacon and loads of parmesan, Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs takes my favourite salad, one step further. The addition of fresh mushrooms is incredible. I also like to top the whole thing with crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs for extra crunch in every bite.
