Caesarsalade maken is eenvoudig. Je begint met het scheuren van sla in stukken. Voeg dan croutons toe en strooi wat Parmezaanse kaas over de bovenkant. Voor de dressing meng je citroensap, olijfolie, een beetje ei, Worcestersaus, geplette knoflook en zwarte peper. Giet dit over de sla, voeg de croutons en kaas toe en meng alles door elkaar.
