Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Parmesan and Croutons

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chopped romaine. Then, add the croutons on top.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 3

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, 0.25 cups of grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and pesto.

  2. 4

    Blend the Dressing

    Using a whisk or an immersion blender, mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the creamy Caesar pesto dressing over the romaine, Parmesan, and croutons in the salad bowl.

  2. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or your hands to ensure even coating of the dressing over all ingredients.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately as a side dish or main course. Enjoy!
