This weekend I was inspired by a show on the Food Network that I ran across by accident. A quick trip the store yielded all the ingredients I needed. For starters, I whipped up this caesar salad that’s a big hit with everyone who’s tried it.

Homemade Caesar Salad (see the full recipe at Pioneer Woman)

  • 3 romaine hearts, separated into whole leaves
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • 5 tablespoon pure olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Place lettuce leaves and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Whisk lemon juice, mayonnaise, half the reserved garlic, Worcestershire and olive oil together in a small bowl. Salt and pepper to taste, and toss lightly with the lettuce leaves and tomatoes. Sprinkle Parmesan over greens and toss again.
