AtEatingWell, we love Caesar salad as much as you do. In fact, we’re predicting the iconic creamy flavor to be atop food trend for 2024. But if you wish that this traditional salad could be taken up a notch, you’re going to fall in love with Katie Lee Biegel’s version.

We’re excited to see that one of our favorite food starsjust shareda delicious way to elevate a Caesar salad—and it’s perfect for a flavor-boosting crunch. Here’s whatThe Kitchenco-host made that had fans saying “Yum!”

Katie Lee Biegel’s Brown Butter Scallops Are Ready in Under 10 Minutes

With a base of romaine hearts, Biegel tosses in her dressing and Parmesan cheese. Instead of croutons, the cook adds in crunchy breadcrumbs that she toasted with garlic and butter on the stove. This will give the tasty texture of croutons in each bite—we love adding toasted breadcrumbs in our ownKale & Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Avocado Caesar Dressing.

But while this would be a vibrant forkful as is, we’re most excited about the final touch: easy fried capers. This one-ingredient addition makes Biegel’s salad unique and even more mouthwatering. All she did was add 2 tablespoons ofcapers(patted dry with a paper towel) into a small skillet over medium heat with ¼ cup olive oil. Biegel fried the capers until crispy, which she noted to take about 5 minutes.

Biegel made the perfect side that embraces a briny, lemony tang with these crispy capers on top. Whether you’re servingglazed salmonor apasta bake, you’ll want to add this salad to your dinner table tonight and for many evenings to come.
