    Seafood Caesar Salad with Lemon Caper Dressing

    February 23, 2016 by Kyle 4 Comments

    seafood caesar salad 2This Seafood Caesar Salad is fresh, healthy and easy to make... and it can be a meal in itself! Unlike a typical Caesar Salad, this dressing does not include eggs or anchovies. Jurga asked me to bring a Caesar Salad to her Comedy Night Gr8 dinner and because we were also having chicken, I made this salad without the seafood. Enjoy!

    Author: Kyle

    Ingredients

    Salad Ingredients:

    Instructions

    Salad Directions:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F.
    • Toss the bread cubes in the ¼ cup of olive oil and spread out on a baking sheet.
    • Bake until toasted, about 12 - 15 minutes, stirring after about 8 minutes.
    • Cool completely. The croutons can be made up to a day ahead of time and kept in a sealed plastic bag.
    • Toss the shrimp on a baking sheet with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and salt.
    • Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, just until pink and firm and cooked through. Cool and refrigerate until serving time. (For a quicker version, use already cooked shrimp.)
    • To serve the salad, tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place into a large bowl and toss with most of the dressing.
    • Divide lettuce among plates and top each serving with equal parts of shrimp, crab, and croutons.
    • Drizzle with remaining dressing.
    • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and season with freshly ground pepper.

    Dressing Directions:

    • Place capers, garlic and mustard in a small food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
    • Add lemon juice, wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Blend for about 5 seconds.
    • Slowly add the olive oil and blend until thickened, about 1 minute.

    Notes

    Gr8 Do-Ahead Tips:
    1. The croutons can be made a day ahead of time and kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature.
    2. The dressing can be made up to two days ahead of time. Keep refrigerated, and bring to room temperature before serving.

      I love this salad dressing. It's flavorful and light. Instead of seafood I made the Parmesan chicken and put it on top of the salad. So yummy!
