Here is a fresh take on the classic caesar dressing usually made with anchovies, our fantastic Ceasar Lime Salad Dressing recipe. Capers are the perfect anchovy substitute for the saltiness that anchovies provide. The Persian lime olive oil is the essential ingredient for that nice lime flavor. The fresh limes are necessary for that sour touch, but you will find that the Persian lime olive oil gives it a superior lime taste. Combine the Ceasar lime dressing with chopped romaine lettuce and kale (for a healthier salad), toasted garlic olive oil croutons, and top with fresh grated Parmesan, and we have ourselves a new kind of caesar salad!
What you’ll need:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Persian Lime Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons capers
1 teaspoon caper juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Parmesan for shaving
Garlic Olive Oil for the homemade croutons
Here’s how:
Whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, and mustard in a small bowl. Then grind the capers in a small food processor or chop and smash with the back of a spoon. Add ground capers, garlic, caper juice, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk well. Finally, stir in grated parmesan cheese.
Combine the dressing with chopped romaine lettuce until it’s mixed evenly. Feel free to add chopped kale as a healthier option. Toast baguette slices on both sides in a pan with Garlic Olive Oil and crumble on top of salad. Then add shaved parmesan. Feel free to add your favorite protein. Either with, it’s now ready to eat!
