Hailing from the ancient times of Roman Empire, Caesar Salad has been a timeless classic. Our version, the Grilled Salmon Caesar Salad, marries the rich flavors of the sea with the crisp, fresh notes of a traditional Caesar salad. Succulent salmon fillets, seasoned to perfection and grilled to a tantalizing finish, sit atop a bed of crunchy romaine lettuce. The salad is sprinkled with homemade crunchy croutons and freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, then lightly dressed with a homemade tangy Caesar dressing. This salad is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a nutritious, balanced meal.
