Romaine
Crisp, crunchy and sturdy enough to stand up to bold dressings, romaine is the backbone of a great Caesar. Start with my Classic Caesar Salad with an easy homemade dressing and crispy croutons, then try a smoky Grilled Caesar Salad with charred romaine or an Artichoke Caesar-ish Salad with roasted artichokes and crispy beans. For a heartier dinner, pile it with grilled steak and bacon for a Skirt Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing, or toss it with a tangy Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing.
