Caesar Salad Recipe with Homemade Croutons
If you follow me on Instagram stories, you know I have been OBSESSED with Caesar Salads with crisp homemade croutons, pickled onions, and the perfect jammy hard-boiled eggs. I literally eat it 4-5 times a week.
If you love caesar recipes as much as I do, I am sharing my simple recipes below!
SHOP MY KITCHEN GADGET:
Ingredients
For the Croutons:
- sourdough, cut in half and thinly sliced (1/4" thick)
- extra virgin olive oil
- Flavor God Garlic Seasoning
For Pickled Onions:
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- white vinegar
- sugar, I like Monkfruit sugar with zero glycemic
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- mason jars
For Salad:
- romaine lettuce (and other dark leafy greens)
- parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved (I like this one)
- cherry tomatoes
- pickled onions
- avocado, sliced
- topping: lemon wedges for flavor
- Primal Kitchen Caesar dressing
How to Make Perfect Jammy Eggs:
- "Here’s the method: Bring ½ inch of water to boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using tongs, gently place up to 6 eggs in boiling water (eggs will not be submerged). Cover and cook for 8 minutes. Transfer saucepan to sink and run cold water over eggs for 30 seconds to stop cooking." source
How to Make Homemade Cruotons:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F or Air Fryer at 400˚F for 5 minutes. Cut sourdough bread into little cubes. Place the bread into a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the croutons and season with garlic seasonings. I love this one from Flavor God.
- Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet and bake at 350˚F until light golden and crisp (10-12 minutes), or to desired crispness.
I cook mine in my air fryer for 400˚F for 2 minutes, toss, and another 400˚F for 2 minutes (total of 4 minutes). - I make a bunch and store it in an airtight container.
How to Make Pickled Onions:
- Heat 3 tablespoons of water and dissolve sugar in a 16oz mason jar. I like these Glass Jars With Airtight Lids.
- Thinly slice the onions (it's helpful to use a mandoline).
- Stuff all the red onions in the jar.
- Fill with white vinegar.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature, then store the onions in the fridge. Your pickled onions will be ready to eat once they're bright pink and tender - about 1 hour for very thinly sliced onions!
How to Make Ceasar Salad
- Rinse, dry, and chop or tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces. I like to use other dark-leafy greens (like baby spring mix or baby kale) for more nutrition.
- Place in a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded parmesan cheese and cooled croutons.
- Add pickled onions, halved cherry tomatoes, hard broiled eggs, and sliced avocado.
- Squeeze lemon and drizzle with Primal Kitchen Caesar dressing and toss gently until lettuce is evenly coated.
