There are many ceasar salad recipes to choose from. The standard ingredients are romain lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese, and dressing. Here's an easy recipe...

Ingredients:

Romain lettuce
croutons
parmesan cheese

Dressing:

1/2 cup olive or other salad oil
1 clove garlic(crushed)
1 egg
1/2 can anchovies or anchovie paste to taste(optional)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vinegar(regular or flavored)

Gently wash wash a few leaves of lettuce in a bowl of cold water. Dry the lettuce in a clean dishtowel or salad spinner.

In a mixing bowl add the dressing ingredients and mix with a whisk or electric mixer.

Add parmesan cheese and croutons to the lettuce and gently toss. Add dressing just before serving.

Add dressing sparingly, gently tossing salad until the leaves are barely coated.

Sliced/cubed chicken or steak is quite popular. See Chicken Caesar Salad.

Seafood is a very popular add-on. Shrimp, prawns, crab, lobster and scallops are the favorite shellfish.

Salmon and halibut are good fish add-ons. The best thing about seafood is that one will usually complement the other, so you can add as many different ones as you like.

Whatever seafood or seafood combo you use, make sure it's been handled properly(fresh-frozen,properly refrigerated etc.)

Any kind of smoked seafood really adds flavour. Smoked salmon is the most popular and easiest to find. Canned smoked shellfish such as oysters, mussels, and scallops are an alternative but these are very rich, strong tasting, and definately an aquired taste.

All these ingredients can be added hot or cold, usually on top of the salad right after the dressing is added.

For those meat-eaters out there I have found a very informative site all about Prime Rib. The pictures alone are mouth watering! You can access it here: Prime Rib Roasted and Ready.com
