Hungry? Ready to try one of the BEST Caesar salads you’ve ever had? We’re here to help.

Here are a couple of tips/options:

• If you’re concerned about using raw eggs in your dressing, Nino’s sells pasteurized whole eggs, right in their shells. No worries, no health concerns.
• Adding grated Parmesan cheese to this dressing is optional; likewise, there are those who add a pinch of sugar to soften the acidity of the lemon juice.
• Don’t go cheap on the olive oil. Use something of good quality and something FRESH. It makes a HUGE difference.
• Croutons? Nino’s has a number of flavors of large croutons just perfect for your salad–and of course fabulous romaine!
• Once you’ve made your dressing, it is tradition to toss the dressing, Romaine AND croutons together. Plate, and then garnish with pepper and Parmesan cheese.
