Potato Caesar Salad

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

Summer, you are finally here.  After the longest winter EVER, we’ve finally reached those lazy, hazy days.  Days full of swimming pools and beaches and leaving the windows open at night.  And of course days and evenings full of barbecue lunches and suppers.  Steaks and burgers and chicken on the grill, with potato salad and green salad on the side.  The only thing that could possibly make things better might be to put the potato salad and the green salad together.  As in Potato Caesar salad!

Which not only tastes scrumptious, but is also a fun conversation topic for the summer supper table, as in “hey, I never thought of putting potatoes in my Caesar salad/Caesar salad in my potato salad!”

Unless you are occupied with other summertime activities like blowing bubbles, or unless you are two.  The things that grown-ups discuss are mysterious.

Back at the salad, make a quick dressing by combining an egg, some olive oil, some Parmesan cheese, a little chopped garlic and some salt and pepper in a jar and shaking vigorously.  If it’s a plastic container with a very secure lid, the two year old can probably do the shaking part for you.

The salad itself is a combo of cooked baby potatoes and romaine lettuce – I go for a ratio of about 1/3 potato and 2/3 lettuce.  Toss it all up with the dressing, and scatter a little extra Parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper on top for good measure.

If you are grilling steak or chicken or tuna, you might be tempted to slice it up and serve it on top of this summertime salad.  Hey, it’s summer!

    Another twist I’ve been doing for a couple years is to shred the romaine (as for tacos) crush the crutons and then toss with dressing and parmesan cheese, we call it Caesar Slaw. Older friends and family say it’s easier to eat than regular (larger) pieces of romaine. Love your blog.
