Notes
- Make ahead Keep the croutons and dressing on the side so everything stays crisp and fresh. The croutons will get soggy if you add them and then serve it later on.
- A homemade Caesar is best, but feel free to use your favourite bottled Caesar in a pinch!
- Feel free to use mayonnaise instead of Greek yoghurt for the dressing. I love the lightened-up flavour and added protein from the Greek yoghurt!
