Last week my commercial cooking class made Caesar salad. This lab was fun to make, I only wish we got to try the final product to see how we did. Something that went well was making the croutons. They were evenly cut and seasoned and therefore turned out great. One thing that did not go as well was ripping the lettuce into bite size pieces. Some were too big, and some were too small, so we had to redo a lot of the lettuce. If I made this recipe again I would make sure to time everything so they finish around the same time, for this lab it wasn’t really an issue because we just put each ingredient into separate bowls for the cafeteria. In class, we learned the proper way to wash lettuce, this was crucial in this recipe and very valuable information to know when preparing salads. I love Caesar salad, it is delicious and I will definitely be using this recipe in the future.
