CAESAR SALAD WITH OAT CROUTONS AND AVOCADO

The caesar salad all in itself is quite an institution if you think about it and yet, there are as many variations as there are cafe’s that serve it. One is with anchovies, the other with nuts, one with avocado, the other with bacon. With cheese, without cheese… You name it and it is somewhere to be found.

The caesar salad is ‘invented’ by Caesar Cardini somewhere in the early 1900s and originally doesn’t have any more than 8 ingredients. Those are lettuce, boiled egg, oliveoil, lemonjuice, croutons, garlic, worcestershiresauce and feta. Now the last one came as a bit of a surprise as I don’t think I have ever been served a caesar salad with feta. You? Caesar salad met havermout croutons | insimoneskitchen.com

After the failed kale pizza I liked this renewed version of the Caesar salad a whole lot more. In the meantime we’re getting used a bit to our new healthy regime, the no snacking and good eating thing. I’ll give you full update tomorrow on how things are going with results and everything. Back to the salad.

I’m not sure if you should call this a caesar salad but it’s got to have a name so I’ve left it as is. It’s skinnier than the original I would think with the buttermilk dressing and really good!
