To prepare a classic Caesar salad, simply toss fresh romaine lettuce with the desired amount of dressing. You can also use it as a marinade for chicken or fish before grilling or baking, adding a depth of flavor. It works well as a dip for raw vegetables like carrots and celery, or as a sauce to bind cooked pasta dishes. A drizzle over roasted vegetables can also enhance their taste.
