FOR PARMESAN CRISPS:

  • 1⁄2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, Kraft®
    FOR creamy Roasted Garlic dressing:

  • 1⁄2 cup Caesar salad dressing, Wish-Bone®

  • 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise, Hellmann’s® or Best Foods®

  • 4 cloves bottled roasted garlic, Christopher Ranch®

FOR CAESAR SALAD:

  • 1 bag (10-ounce) romaine hearts, chopped,

  • Fresh Express®

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. For Parmesan Crisps, place a 3-inch ring mold* on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese into the mold. Carefully remove mold. Repeat three more times so there are four Parmesan circles. Broil 6 inches from heat for 3 to 4 minutes, watching carefully until crisps turn golden brown. Remove from broiler; cool on wire rack. Carefully peel crisps from foil.

  3. For Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing, in a blender, combine Caesar salad dressing, mayonnaise, and roasted garlic. Cover and blend on medium speed until combined.

  4. For Caesar Salad, in a large bowl, combine romaine hearts, croutons, and the remaining 1⁄ 4 cup Parmesan cheese. Toss with dressing.

  5. Serve salad on 4 plates. Garnish with Parmesan Crisps.

NOTE: If you don’t have a ring mold, you can substitute an 8-ounce pineapple can with the top and bottom removed.
