Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add to the salad.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the top and toss the salad gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Finish with Croutons

    Top the salad with croutons just before serving for added crunch.

Soup Preparation

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Vegetables

    Peel and dice the carrots and chop the celery. Add them to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes along with the bay leaves. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 8

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 9

    Season the Soup

    Remove bay leaves. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
