According to Chef Megan McCarthy, the crisp texture and mild flavor of romaine lettuce provide the perfect contrast to Caesar's creamy, savory, and tangy dressing.
The umami-packed dressing, originating from Mexico, is what transforms romaine into a Caesar salad, delivering a cheesy, garlic aroma that's unmistakable.
Romaine's mild sweetness and faint bitterness create an excellent balance for the strong flavors of Caesar dressing, making it the ideal choice for this classic salad.
Romaine lettuce not only serves well in its traditional form, but also can be lightly grilled, adding a smoky dimension and refreshing twist to the Caesar salad.
