The Caesar's Salad is a famous salad invented by Italian chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This fresh and crunchy dish consists of iceberg lettuce leaves, golden bread croutons, shavings of Pecorino cheese, a touch of garlic powder, extra-virgin olive oil and salt. It is simple to prepare and is perfect as an appetizer or side dish. Its freshness and tastiness make it ideal for the summer months.
Let the bread croutons absorb a little oil and some garlic powder (in the U.S. you can find croutons already garlic-flavored) to taste.
Wash, dry and shred the iceberg lettuce, add the croutons, sprinkle with more garlic powder if desired; top with coarsely grated Pecorino (or in shavings), dress with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
