EMPEROR SALAD

Romaine Lettuce with Hazelnuts & Capers

April 30th, 2015

This is a one of the alternative veganized and much lighter recipes for the Caesar Salad. Absolutely a must try. You and your family will fall in love with it, I’m sure of that. It does take some extra work, but you can always premake the dressings and keep it in the fridge. Make sure you use a glass container with a tight lid. Truly delicious, you’ll see.
