Bacon Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons
Crispy bacon, homemade croutons, and romaine tossed in creamy Caesar dressing.
Parmesan is a hard, aged cheese with a strong, salty flavor. Because it’s concentrated, a small amount goes a long way.
It works best as a finishing ingredient, added to pasta, vegetables, or protein-based meals. It melts lightly, but more importantly, it enhances everything around it without needing much effort.
Grate fresh when possible. It melts better and has stronger flavor than pre-grated versions.
Add parmesan at the end of cooking to keep its texture and avoid clumping.
Use low heat if melting into sauces so it blends smoothly instead of separating.
Shave it over dishes for more texture, or grate it finely to blend in.
Taste before adding salt. Parmesan already brings a lot of salt to the dish.
