Cuisine: Caesar Boats

Make these SUPER-SIMPLE-kid-friendly Caesar Boats for ANY occasion!!

We went to a Baby's Blessing recently and these were served along with Little Caesar's Pizza, Crazy Bread, Brownies and Soda.

I thought it was a terrific way to serve salad as 'finger food'!!

And it'd be an easy-to-assemble, easy-to-store item for onboard too!!

The Dad who made these said, "It's the best way to get our kids to eat salad!!" And he was right, the children who were present were just as excited about these as they were the pizza. 

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Romaine lettuce hearts
Caesar salad dressing
Croutons
Shredded parmesan cheese



HERE'S HOW TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:

Seperate and wash the romaine heart leaves.  Carefully blot them dry with a towel.  Arrange leaves on a platter and then gently drizzle the caesar dressing on each leaf.  Put a few croutons on each leaf and then sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese...SUPER EASY!!



OPTIONAL FANCY STUFF:
You can dress them up with a few extras such as:
 sliced cherry tomatoes
 sliced chicken
or use shaved parmesan instead of shredded 

Also, I put similar leaf sizes on the same platter.
  The smallest leaves are on the platter above.

The tiny heart-middle makes a great stand up garnish too.
ENJOY!!
